Yes, I knew I was getting confusing somewhere over therenoisewreck, I think I've got it figured out where I'm not understanding your point. You are right that the sample only measures the difference in voltage from zero. In that sense, it is a measure of the DC 'offset'. But when you defined DC offset, you were referring to it as a "pivot point" for a wave. To my knowledge, a single sample in a waveform cannot tell you what that waveform's "pivot point" is. So we're talking about two different understandings of "DC offset".
And I retract my point about the sample measuring "pressure level". Without a baseline there is no relative pressure level to measure.
So a sample only measures voltage, right (i.e. the distance from zero voltage)?
I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass here.![]()


But yes, you got what I was trying to say in a clumsy sort of way.
