Sampling

When sampling the input signal, samples are taken at fixed inter-
vals. At these intervals, the size of the input signal is converted to a
number. The accuracy of this number depends on the resolution of
the instrument. The higher the resolution, the smaller the voltage
steps in which the input range of the instrument is divided. The
acquired numbers can be used for various purposes, e.g. to create
a graph.
Figure 3.1: Sampling
The sine wave in figure 3.1 is sampled at the dot positions. By
connecting the adjacent samples, the original signal can be recon-
structed from the samples. You can see the result in figure 3.2.
