Analog-To-Digital Conversion.

The process of changing an analog signal

into a digital value.

Alternating
Current

Electric current that rises to a maximum in one direction, falls back to zero,
and then rises to a maximum in the opposite direction and then repeats.

Ammeter

Instrument for measuring the current in amps, milliamps or microamps.

Also referred to as an Amp. The unit of electrical current (represented by
the symbol “A”).

Amplitude

The highest value reached by voltage, current or power during a complete
cycle.
