Digital signals offer several advantages over their analog counterparts, primarily in their ability to be transmited over longer distances without degradation, and in their ability to be error-corrected when transmission errors do occur. Another key advantage is the ability to communicate in both directions using simple 2-wire systems.

Digital signals also suffer certain disadvantages, mainly because they are discontinuous and the the need to assemble several individual signals (or bits) into messages (multiples of bytes) introduces time delays (or latencies). For this reason, the measurement of rapidly changing analog signals requires the use of high speed digitisers and high speed data transmission techniques.

The heart of a digitiser is the analog to digital converter, or ADC, and several techniques have been developed over the years to achieve the desired goal of high speed, high precision and low cost. When combined with equally high performance microprocessors or microcontrollers, it is possible to create digitisers that can overcome the latency and can replace analog measurements in almost all applications.

Mantracourt offers both pure analog and analog to digital devices. In many products, the advantages of digital control and correction techniques are applied to devices that also have analog outputs, therefore offering the best of both worlds.
