Since computers only process digital values, analog measurement signals - for example voltages, currents or sensor outputs - must first be processed by a <strong>Analog-to-digital converter (A\/D converter)<\/strong> are converted into digital values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During this conversion, the continuous value range of a signal is converted into a <strong>finite number of discrete stages (quantization)<\/strong> subdivided. The resolution indicates how many such levels there are between the <strong>smallest and the largest displayable measured value<\/strong> are available. The higher the resolution, the more finely a signal can be differentiated and displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The resolution of an A\/D converter is usually expressed in <strong>Bit<\/strong> specified. A converter with<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>12 bit<\/strong> Resolution can, for example <strong>4096 different values<\/strong>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>16 bit<\/strong> Resolution <strong>65,536 Values<\/strong> represent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A higher resolution therefore enables a <strong>More precise mapping of small signal changes<\/strong>, as the distance between two digital steps becomes smaller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In measurement data acquisition systems - such as solutions from Delphin Technology - the resolution is an important parameter for the <strong>Quality and accuracy of measured value acquisition<\/strong>. It determines how finely measurement signals are digitized and how precisely changes in a physical measurement value can be recorded and processed in the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It should be noted that the effective measurement accuracy depends not only on the resolution of the A\/D converter, but also on other factors such as <strong>Noise, signal quality, measuring range and device accuracy<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-6751","glossar","type-glossar","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.delphin.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossar\/6751","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.delphin.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossar"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.delphin.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossar"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.delphin.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
