SUMMARY
The discussion centers on converting analog signals to digital formats using Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) and Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM). The user is attempting to decode fax information from recorded analog signals using software, specifically seeking algorithms for demodulation. Key components mentioned include an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques. The conversation highlights the need for comprehensive documentation on fax modulation and suggests that existing resources may not suffice for the user's specific requirements.
