Editor’s Note: This article came about from another article called “Circuits without wires” in which a comment by Arthur Glazar led to my discovery of this gem of an article, thanks to my colleague ...

Today, most of what we think of as a computer uses digital technology. But that wasn’t always the case. From slide rules to mechanical fire solution computers to electronic analog computers, … ...

A computer that processes analog data is known as an analog computer. Analog computers store information in physical quantities in a continuous format and use measurements to perform computation.

In the mid 1960's, an undergraduate friend invited me along to a lab where he had to run some “programs” on an analog computer. That sounded interesting. He set up his program with resistors and ...

Today's analog system designers face many design challenges. Not only do designers need to select the proper integrated-circuit components, but they also must accurately predict the interactions of ...

Analog computers have been around in some form for a very long time. One very obvious place they were used was in military vehicles. While submarine fire computers and the Norden bombsight get all ...

A new research project could simplify the process of using analog computers for complex biological modelling.

National Instruments’ NI PCI-6225 and PXI-6225 include 80 16-bit analog input channels with sampling rates up to 250 kS/s.

The HDO8000 oscilloscope from Teledyne LeCroy has eight analog input channels, 12-bits of vertical resolution utilizing Teledyne LeCroy's HD4096 technology, and up to 1 GHz of bandwidth.
