Accuracy
of an ADC: the difference between the analog input
theoretically required to produce a given digital output and the
analog input actually required to produce that output.
Accuracy
of a DAC: the difference between the analog output
that is expected when a given digital code is applied and the
actual output measured.
The overall accuracy is affected by quantizing, offset error,
bandwidth, linearity, monotonicity, settling time and long term
drift.
Acquisition
time The time elapsed between the sample or track
time command and the point at which the output tracks the input, ...
