How do analog sampling oscilloscopes achieve [their] accuracy... The trigger event occurs several dozen nanoseconds ahead of the sample point and initiates a variable monostable that causes successive sample points to occur at an increasing distance from the trigger event. Thus the analog sampling oscilloscope can build up a stable display of a waveform, which is many times faster than the sample rate. 3, record 1, English, - analog%20sampling%20oscilloscope

Le terme «échantillonnage» est toujours employé lorsqu'une carte sonore est utilisée. Il désigne en règle générale l'enregistrement de sons provenant d'une source quelconque. Étant donné que les sons doivent être numérisés, l'échantillonnage est un procédé d'enregistrement particulier. Par exemple, lorsque des sons sont enregistrés à l'aide d'un micro, le signal acoustique est transformé en oscillations électriques. Pour enregistrer sous une forme numérique des vibrations analogiques, celles-ci doivent être échantillonnées. La valeur mesurée lors de la réception est enregistrée, puis c'est au tour de la valeur suivante, et ainsi de suite. 1, record 2, French, - %C3%A9chantillonnage

FISO technology uses a patented technique of performing analog sampling using standard semiconductor technology. Samples are stored as electric charge in each of the 10, 000 on-chip cells.... Once the analog sampling has finished, a slow speed, very accurate 9-bit A/D converter is used to convert the stored analog values into digital code. 2, record 3, English, - analog%20sampling
