🔍 Key Concepts

• Analog vs. digital signals (continuous values vs. discrete steps/bits) • How control/monitoring systems represent data inside a computer (binary bits: 0s and 1s) • Centralized ship control systems: ways signals are transmitted (pneumatic, mechanical, electric, digital)

💭 Think About

• Which option explicitly refers to information being handled inside a computer as discrete bits? • Which types (pneumatic, direct-connected, electric/electronic, digital) deal with physical forces or voltages only, and which one clearly implies computer-based processing? • Think about modern engine/plant automation: what kind of system must be present if the computer is going to process and control using numerical data?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is directly associated with binary data (1s and 0s). • Eliminate any options that rely mainly on mechanical movement, air pressure, or simple electrical on/off without conversion to computer-readable bits. • Confirm that your choice clearly supports signal conversion plus computer processing/control, not just signal transmission.
