An IEEE standard for waveform recorders

IEEE Standard 1057 has received final approval. This standard specifies performance parameters and their measurement techniques for digital waveform recorders. These parameters and test methods are also applicable to characterizing analog-to-digital converters, and this document can be used as an interim standard until a separate standard for ADC evaluation is completed. This presentation describes the major points of the standard and presents sample results from its procedures. A User's Guide and software toolkit are in preparation.
