In telemetry: Multiplexing and sampling.
A telemetry system ordinarily must handle more than one channel of information (e.g., routine measurements from an orbiting satellite, or flow rate and reservoir levels in a water-distribution network). These data-measurement channels are brought together by a process known as multiplexing, which combines the…

In telecommunication: Sampling
Analog-to-digital conversion begins with sampling, or measuring the amplitude of the analog waveform at equally spaced discrete instants of time. The fact that samples of a continually varying wave may be used to represent that wave relies on the assumption that the wave is…
