Applications literature: Elementary principles of data acquisition and conversion

This 70-page handbook contains meaningful theoretical foundations for the application of A/D and D/A data conversion. Topics of discussion include: quantizing and sampling theory, settling time, the operation of analog multiplexers, digital coding, and A/D and D/A conversion and calibration. Block diagrams show the operation of A/D and D/A acquisition and conversion systems. The handbook also contains definitions of important parameters used to characterize analog multiplexers and the accuracy of the conversion systems.
