The model comprises four high-level subsystems or processes (embodying a
variety of hardware and software functions) and the data that connects them:
HDigital Signal Acquisition System. Acquires a waveform record from each
signal that you input to each channel using the following subsystems:
HInput Channels. Conditions the input signal, primarily through the use
of analog hardware, before the signal is converted to digital form.
