[edit] Describing DCC as a special form of DC...

I'm don't agree with the description of the DCC power on the rails as a specail version of DC... it's not really distorted DC, but is actually an amplified digital pulse stream. I think referring to the waveform as DC just adds confusion.

I didn't charge in and change things because I'm not sure if this is the same terminology that the 'official' DCC standards uses or not.

Also-- your caption under the DCC waveform mentions a mirrored wave. Do you mean above and below zero volts? Paul E Musselman - PaulMmn@ix.netcom.nospam.com

[edit] Analog VS DC

Although there isn't much (welcome to add to it) in the DCCWiki Style guide, it does mention the use of analog vs DC. Analog won't be confused for DC or DCC incase someone forgets the extra 'c'. TazzyTazzy 12:49, 3 January 2007 (EST)
