Quantization:

About the dynamic range of amplitude values or amplitude resolution of the 'sampled' waveform

Usually with the amplitude range of a $16-$bit resolution, i$.$e$.,65,536(2^{16})$ values

Binary numbers, $0$ and $1,$ used in computing

$1$ bit $($binary digit$)$: $2(2^1)$ values, $0=0,1=1$;

$2$ bits: $4(2^2)$ values, $00=0,01=1,10=2,11=3$;

$3$ bits: $8(2^3)$ values, $000=0,001=1,010=2,011=3,$

$100=4,101=5,110=6,111=7$;

$4$ bits: $16(2^4)$ values, $0000=0,0001=1,0010=2,0011=3,0100=4,0101=5,0110=6,0111=7,1000=8,1001=9,1010=10,1011=11,1100=12,1101=13,1110=14,1111=15$

$16$ bits: $65,536(2^{16})$ values, from $\text{'}0\text{'}$ to $\text{'}65,535\text{'}$
