An analog computer is a system that provides information in continuous form. These computers can only represent physical quantities such as pressure, weight, voltage pressure, speed, and more.

Billions of smart devices rely on sensor data to gather intelligence. Most smart devices use a “digitize-first” model to digitize all sensor data immediately, sending data to high-power digital ...

Oscilloscopes provide critical signal visibility for debugging, testing, and ensuring that electronic systems match developers’ imaginations. Specifying when the oscilloscope captures information ...
