There is of course NO energy in a DIGITIZED pulse since it is purely
numeric.  Energy is only meaningful if you translate it back to the
real world and assume a smooth curve drawn through the numbers,
representing a given voltage in a given impedance for a given amount
of time.

Am I a pedant or what? :-)
