Claim 0:
1. A method of converting an electrical input signal into a set of acquisition samples, the method comprising:
receiving an electrical input signal;
generating and outputting a light beam or a particle beam based on said electrical input signal;
deflecting said light beam or said particle beam into at least one spatial direction based on a deflection command signal, wherein said light beam or said particle beam is deflected according to a predefined pattern, wherein the predefined pattern is determined by the deflection command signal;
receiving said light beam or said particle beam by photosensitive pixels and converting said received light beam or said particle beam into electrical output signals; and
determining a set of acquisition samples based on the electrical output signals, wherein the set of acquisition samples comprises a plurality of acquisition samples, wherein the acquisition samples comprise information about an amplitude of the electrical input signal, and wherein the acquisition samples comprise time information about a time relation between the acquisition samples.
