Discrete - The value to be controlled are easily described as on-off. . the car motor is on-off (like basic pneumatics). NOTE: all systems are continuous (Except for Heisenberg’s electrons) but they can be treated as discrete for simplicity. | Engineer On a Disk Overview This note set is part of a larger collection of materials available at http .
