5.2.4. Absolute level definitions - digital signal processing
Within ETL600, most signal processing operations are executed by
digital signal processors (DSPs). Continuous analog signals are
represented by time sequences of sampling values. Each sampling
value X(n) is a dimensionless digit in fixed or floating point
representation.
In analogy to analog signals, we define the following levels for digital
signals:
