Protocol

Analog data
Data with values that change continuously, or smoothly, over time.
Digital Data
Data that changes discretely through a finite set of possible values sampling
Sampling
A process for creating a digital representation of analog data by measuring the analog data at regular intervals called samples.
Lossless Conpression
A process for reducing the number of bits needed to represent something without losing any information. The process Is revirsible
Lossy Compression
A process for reducing the number of bits needed to represent something in which some information is lost or thrown away. This process isn’t reversible .
