Overview of Operating Modes and Functions
The
HP
7090
combines the capabilities of several measurement graphics
devices.
As
a stand-alone instrument it can function as an
x-Y
recorder, a
waveform recorder, or a digital voltmeter. Three channels are available for
receiving analog input signals. Each channel uses its own analog-to-digital
(AID) converter
to
digitize the analog input, and the resulting digital infor
mation is routed according
to
the functions or modes that you select from
the front panel. The fonowing block diagram shows the major operating
modes and functions of the
HP
7090
and the selectable routes of digitized
data.
