Titolo: "slew rate"?

Cari iclingons,
leggendo questioni correlate alle schede di
acquisizione, scopro che la "slew rate" e' un
importante fattore per valutare le prestazioni delle
conversioni digitale/analogico della scheda:
"The slew rate is the maximum rate of change that
the DAC can produce on the output signal"
Il significato e' chiaro, ma la traduzione mi lascia un po' perplesso...
L'Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary mi ricorda che
"slew: v (esp of a vehicle) to turn or swing with force
in a new direction"
e l'Hazon Garzanti si azzarda a dire che:
"slew: s., deviazione, giro"
Quasi quasi lo tradurro' con "velocita' di aggiornamento"....
saluti
Gennaro

Ciao Gennaro, bentornato!
Non è il mio campo, ma il McGraw Hill dà queste traduzioni e
definizioni:
"SLEW RATE
[ELAB] velocità di salto
The speed at which a logic-seeking print head advances to the succeeding
line and finds the position where it is to start printing.
[ELETTRON] slew rate; velocità di variazione
The maximum rate at which the output voltage of an operational amplifier
changes for a square-wave or step-signal input; usually specified in
volts per microsecond.
[SIS CONTR] velocità di risposta
The maximum rate at which a system can follow a command."

Salve a tutti, leggendo una leggenda popolare islandese sui troll, mi sono
imbattuto in questa frase di una troll che ha girovagato il mondo in lungo e
in largo con la sua barca a remi:
"I rowed the world, I rowed high waves; I rowed myself blue, I rowed myself
grey. Then I took an old woman's break, and after that got up again, ripped
up my sleeves, and pulled with my head down to my knees. I'm sure that no
dozen men could do better."
Qualcuno sarebbe cosě gentile da spiegarmi il senso di questo brano. "I
rowed myself blue", per esempio, non l'ho trovato da nessuna parte.
Grazie in anticipo!
Paolo

My personal interpretation would be that he rowed his boat until his face turned
a deoxygenated blue from the exertion. Then, he rowed until either his face
turned a deathly pale of gray, or his hair turned gray from age. In either case,
this fellow rowed for a long time.

Dear Paolo,
There is an English expression  which has it that you do something '  'till
you're blue in the face', meaning to exert yourself to the maximum, and my
interpretation of the verse you quote would be that the troll in question
rowed until (figuratively speaking) he could row no more. An awful lot, in
other words.

Ron and Bambi--
Many thanks for your preciuos help! Now I'm getting the meaning of the
troll's sentence. I'm still having some trouble in understanding the second
half of her dialogue: "Then I took an old woman's break, and after that got
up again, ripped up my sleeves, and pulled with my head down to my knees".
Does the troll woman mean she started rowing again after a long break?
Again, many thanks.
Paolo

yes, I think so.

 Does the troll woman mean she started rowing again after a long break?
I can only imagine that an old woman's break is a break to recover one's breath,
and possibly a long break. I think it is more descriptive of the purpose for
stopping, fatigue, than the length of time. To rip up sleeves is to push the
sleeves of the shirt up the arms to less encumber movements. The pulling refers
to rowing, and head down to knees indicates bending greatly forward to take long
strokes with the oars. Structural analysis to follow after I reread Barthes.
