Palse Duration Modulating (PDM) Recording Pulse duration modulation (PDM) is sometimes used to allow simultaneous recording ofa large numberof slowly changing variables by using time - division multiplexing (TDM) ‘The PDM recording process requires the input signal atthe instant of sampling be converted to. pulse, the duration of which is proportional to the amplitude of the signal atthe instant. ‘Asan example, for recording a sine wave, itis sampled and recorded at uniformly spaced discrete interval instead of continuously recording the instantaneous values. The original sine wave can be reconstructed on playback by passing the discrete readings through an appropriate filter. A schematic diagram of PDM recording system employing TDM for sine wave signal is shown in figure 4.6 kaha 41 JL. Riise eam) TJocties 4.12 Measurements and.

Impactand non- Impact printer 2. Fully formed character and dot matrix character printer 3. Character ata time and line ata time. Impact and non - Impact printer Impact printer form characters on a paper by striking the paper with a print head and squeezing as inked ribbon between the print head and the paper. Non - impact Printers form characters without engaging the print mechanism with the print surface, Example by heating sensitised paper (or) by sprayin ink from a jet. Fully Formed Character and Dot Matrix Printer Fully formed characters are like those made by a standard typewriter, all the pats of characters are embossed in the reverse on the type bars of the typewriter. When printed, all type elements appear connected (or) fully formed Dot matrix characters are shaped by combinations of dots that form a group representing a letter (or) number when viewed together. Character at a Time and Line at a Time Printer Character at a time printers, print each character serially, and virtually instantaneously. Line at atime printers, print each line virtually instantaneously. Example those using lasers and xesographic methods.
