[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 1763974, member: 560358"] I understand the DC analogy but technically it's not DC. DC = direct current or constantly flowing. Clipped signal can't be DC, but I've often referred to it as pulsed DC, but that's misleading too. On the other hand, lets say you live in the world of Dungeons and Dragons and you are a Liche Lord and you cast a spell called 'Time Stop', that clipped signal may be DC for the duration of the spell or does current stop flowing? :unsure: If current still flows under a time stop condition, then an AC sine wave could be measured as DC because you captured the voltage at that particular time and it's held there. /harr harr [/QUOTE]
