21.8 SUMMARY

---

A/D conversion will convert a continuous value to an integer value.

D/A conversion is easier and faster and will convert a digital value to an analog value.

Resolution limits the accuracy of A/D and D/A converters.

Sampling too slowly will alias the real signal.

Analog inputs are sensitive to noise.

The analog I/O cards are configured with a few words of memory.

BTW and BTR functions are needed to communicate with the analog I/O cards.
