The A-D converter for the WCRO. Takes the analogue signal from the receiver and changes it into an 8-bit number for the recording computer. This device is home-built based on a monolithic 8 channel A-D converter.

The top computer is the recording computer. It takes the number from the A-D converter and saves it for later processing off site. The lower computer is the observatory time-base server. It maintains it's time from a small GPS unit.
