Glossary “digital signal” Definition:
A signal whose level has only discreet values, like on or off, 1 or 0, +5v or 0.0 volts.

Glossary “Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO)” Definition:
A digital oscilloscope that acquires signals via digital sampling (using an analog-to-digital converter) It uses a serial-processing architecture to control acquistion, user interface, and the raster display

Glossary “digital instrument” Definition:
A display that indicates an activity, such as rpm, mph, voltage, or fuel supply, with an electronic readout or display.

Glossary “digital logic” Definition:
Circuit elements connected in such a manner as to solve problems using components that have only two states of operation

Glossary “digital multimeter (DVOM)” Definition:
Multimeter that gives a digital readout for the electrical test value.

Glossary “digital oscilloscope” Definition:
A type of oscilloscope that uses an A/D converter to convert the measured voltage into digital information.

Glossary “digital processed information” Definition:
Signals that are yes or no, or on or off.

Glossary “digital read out (DRO)” Definition:
A method of electronically reading conditions as opposed to an analog readout.

Glossary “Digital Sampling Oscilloscope” Definition:
A type of digital ooscilloscope that employs equivalent-time sampling method to capture and display samples of a signal, ideal for accurately capturing signals whose frequency components are much higher than the oscilloscopes sample rate.

Glossary “digital image” Definition:
Pictures stored as computer data.

Glossary “digital computer” Definition:
A device that manipulates digital data and performs arithmetic and logic operations on such data.

Glossary “digital device” Definition:
A device that has only two states of operation, on and off.

Glossary “digital electronic fuel injection” Definition:
An early Cadillac electronic fuel-injection system.
