Hybrid Computers
A combination of computer which is capabale of inputting and outputting in both digital and analog signals.A hybrid computers system setup offers a cost effective method of performing complex simulations.
  A hybrid computer may use or produce analog data or digital data.It accepts a continously varying input,which is then converted into a set of discrete values for digital processing.A hybrid computer capable of real-time solutions has been less expensive digital computer.An example of hybrid computer is the computer used in hospitals to measure the heartbeats of the patients.Hybrid machines are generally used in scientific applications or in controlling industrial use.
