Voice communications are analog signals. ANSI: American National Standards Institute. An organization established to adopt and define standards for a variety of technical disciplines. For example, ANSI defined the ASCII standard and other information processing requirements.
  • Page 208 Glossary bus: An interface for transmission of signals, data or electric power. byte: The representation of a single character. A sequence of eight bits treated as a single unit; also the smallest addressable unit within the system. cache memory: High speed memory which stores data that increases processor speed and data transfer rate.
  • Page 209 Glossary compatibility: 1) The ability of one computer to accept and process data in the same manner as another computer without modifying the data or the media upon which it is being transferred. 2) the ability of one device to connect to or communicate with another system or component.
  • Page 210 Glossary delete: To remove data from a disk or other data storage device. Synonymous with erase. device driver: A program that controls communication between a specific peripheral device and the computer. The CONFIG.SYS file contains device drivers that MS-DOS loads when you turn the computer on. dialog box: A window that accepts user input to make system settings or record other information.
  • Page 211 (FDD): An electromechanical device that reads and writes to floppy disks. Fn-esse: A TOSHIBA utility that lets you assign functions to hot keys. folder: An icon in Windows used to store documents or other folders. format: The process of readying a blank disk for its first use. Formatting establishes the structure of the disk that the operating system expects before it writes files or programs onto the disk.
  • Page 212 Fn, can be used to set system parameters, such as speaker volume. HW Setup: A TOSHIBA utility that lets you set the parameters for various hardware components. icon: A small graphic image displayed on the screen or in the indicator panel.
  • Page 213 Glossary K: Taken from the Greek word kilo, meaning 1000; often used as equivalent to 1024, or 2 raised to the 10th power. See also byte and kilobyte. KB: See kilobyte. keyboard: An input device containing switches that are activated by manually pressing marked keys.
  • Page 214 Glossary monitor: A device that uses rows and columns of pixels to display alphanumeric characters or graphic images. See also CRT. motherboard: A name sometimes used to refer to the main printed circuit board in processing equipment. It usually contains integrated circuits that perform the processor’s basic functions and provides connectors for adding other boards that perform special functions.
