- **Caution**: 

### Q: What is the primary function of an Analog Input Section in data acquisition systems?
**A**: The Analog Input Section receives continuous analog signals from sensors or transducers, conditions them through amplification/filtering, and converts them to digital format using ADCs for processing by digital systems.

### Q: What components are critical for signal protection in analog input sections?
**A**: Input protectors/isolation circuits prevent damage from voltage spikes, while sample-and-hold circuits maintain signal integrity during ADC conversion, and proper grounding/shielding minimizes noise interference.

### Q: How does multiplexing improve analog input section functionality?
**A**: Analog multiplexers allow multiple sensor channels to share a single ADC, reducing component count and cost while enabling simultaneous monitoring of multiple analog signals in industrial applications.
