differential nonlinearity—a measure in least significant bit of the
worst-case deviation of code widths from their ideal value of 1 LSB
the ratio of the largest signal level a circuit can handle to the smallest signal
level it can handle (usually taken to be the noise level), normally expressed
in decibels
electromechanical compliance
signal sources with voltage signals that are not connected to an absolute
reference or system ground. Also called nonreferenced signal sources.
Some common example of floating signal sources are batteries,
transformers, or thermocouples.
the factor by which a signal is amplified, sometimes expressed in decibels
a measure of deviation of the gain of an amplifier from the ideal gain
level of random vibration
See SE.

plug-in boards, chassis, enclosures, peripherals, and cables
hexadecimal
hertz—cycles per second. Specifically refers to the repetition frequency of
a waveform.
