- TYPE OF DATA PROCESSING.
- Within this classification we have that they are analog, digital and hybrid. The data can be obtained as a result of a count or by means of some measuring instruments. The data that is obtained by counting is called direct data. Example: the total number of students in class, the total value of an invoice.
- The data that must be obtained by measurement is continuous data. Example: the speed of a car is measured by a speedometer or the temperature of a patient is measured by a thermometer.
- *DIGITAL COMPUTER.
- It is a calculation device that processes discrete data, works directly by counting numbers (or digits) that represent figures, letters or other special symbols. Example: board.
- *ANALOGUE COMPUTER.
- They work with variables that are measured on a continuous scale and are recorded with a certain degree of precision. Example: tilt
- *HYBRID COMPUTER.
- It is the combination of a digital computer and an analog computer. Example: in a hospital or analog device can measure the functioning of the heart, temperature and other vital signs, these measurements are converted into numbers and sent to a digital computer, this component controls the vital signs and sends a signal to the nurses station in case of an abnormal reading.
