Data processing, analog or digital

The tremendous changes in data handling technique encountered over the past few years have opened many new opportunities for the increasingly effective use of telemetering. Many of the advances which have been made, however, pertain directly to the language used by the data processing equipment. This paper discusses the use of both analog and digital data handling with attention to accuracy, frequency response, physical configurations, data storage, and presentation. Attention is given to the type of problems normally presented to computers by the users of telemetering and to the form of output normally considered desirable.
