Glossary-2
Basic Input Output System. A collection of ROM-based code with a
standard API used to interface with standard PC hardware.
Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight
consecutive bits compose one byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values
within the byte determines its meaning.
Bits transmitted or received.
Bootstrap protocol.
On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1)
combined in a pattern to represent a specific character or numeric value.
Bits are numbered from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit.
One byte in memory can be used to store one ASCII character.
A discrete self-checking code with a character set consisting of digits 0 to
9 and six additional characters: (- $ : / , +).
A high density symbology which allows the controller to encode all 128
ASCII characters without adding extra symbol elements.
A versatile and widely used alphanumeric bar code symbology with a set
of 43 character types, including all uppercase letters, numerals from 0 to
9, and 7 special characters (- . / + % $ and space). The code name is
derived from the fact that 3 of 9 elements representing a character are
wide, while the remaining 6 are narrow.
An industrial symbology compatible with Code 39 but offering a full
character ASCII set and a higher coding density than Code 39.
A cradle is used for charging the terminal battery and for communicating
with a host computer, and provides a storage place for the terminal when
not in use.
A device (such as a modem) which is designed to attach directly to a DTE
(Data Terminal Equipment) device.
A device (such as a terminal or printer) which is designed to attach directly
to a DCE (Data Communications Equipment) device.
