AboutDave Nyce Expertise I have been an electronics engineer for 25 years. I can answer questions on analog and digital circuits and my specialty is sensors.
Experience I am the inventor on 23 US patents, and also some foreign ones. Developed sensors for over 25 years. Licensed private pilot (airplane and rotorcraft), have HAM radio license. I'm not an expert in computer networking.
Question computers are able to receive and process both analog and digital signals. True or False?

The text above is a follow-up to ...
-----Question-----
The EEPROM located in a computer allows stored information to be electrically changed. True or False?
-----Answer-----
True. An EEPROM is electrically eraseable and re-writeable. But you might have difficulty to do it yourself without the equipment used by the manufacturer.
Hope this helps!

Answer The actual "computing" part of any modern "computer" only works with digital data. When analog signals must be read, that is done by first passing them through an "analog to digital converter", also called an A/D (pronounced "A to D"). After the signal is in digital form, then it can be used by the computer.
Likewise, to send out an analog signal, the computer would send digital data to a D/A, which converts it to analog voltage or current. Alternatively, a computer can send out a form of analog signal as a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal.
