Which aspect of the voltage pulse data is affected by the sampling rate and resolution of the ADC?

The aspect of voltage pulse data that is influenced by the sampling rate and resolution of the Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is the data distribution. The sampling rate determines how often the analog signal is sampled, which directly impacts the temporal resolution of the signal representation. If the sampling rate is too low, important features of the pulse may be missed, leading to inaccurate or incomplete data distribution.

Additionally, the resolution of the ADC affects the granularity with which the voltage levels of the pulse can be represented. A higher resolution allows for more precise voltage distinctions, enabling fine details in the pulse height to be captured and ensuring that the distribution reflects the actual characteristics of the signal. Consequently, variations or subtleties in the data will either be emphasized or lost based on these parameters, ultimately shaping the overall data distribution derived from the voltage pulses.

In contrast, the amplification level, threshold setting, and interrogation point do not directly relate to how data is sampled and digitized. The amplification level pertains to the strength of the signal before it is converted, while the threshold setting is used to determine levels of detection. The interrogation point is associated with the specific moment in time during signal measurement or analysis, which may be influenced by sampling rates but does not fundamentally alter
