GLOSSARY delete 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. components: Elements or parts (of a system) which make up the whole (system). computer program: A set of instructions written for a computer that enable it to achieve a desired result. computer system: A combination of hardware, software, firmware, and peripheral components assembled to process data into useful information. configuration: The specific components in your system (such as the terminal, printer, and disk drives) and the settings that define how your system works. You use the Hardware Setup, MaxTime or HW Setup program to control your system configuration. control keys: A key or sequence of keys you enter from the keyboard to initiate a particular function within a program. controller: Built-in hardware and software that controls the functions of a specific internal or peripheral device (e. g. keyboard controller). co-processor: A circuit built into the processor that is dedicated to intensive math calculations. CPS: Characters per second. Typically used to indicate the transmission speed of a printer. CPU: Central processing unit. The portion of the computer that interprets and executes instructions. CRT: Cathode Ray Tube. A vacuum tube in which beams projected on a fluorescent screen-producing luminous spots. An example is the television set. cursor: A small, blinking rectangle or line that indicates the current position on the display screen. D data: Information that is factual, measurable or statistical that a computer can process, store, or retrieve. data bits: A data communications parameter controlling the number of bits (binary digits) used to make up a byte. If data bits = 7 the computer can generate 128 unique characters. If data bits = 8 the computer can generate 256 unique characters. DC: Direct Current. Electric current that flows in one direction. This type of power is usually supplied by batteries. default: The parameter value automatically selected by the system when you or the program do not provide instructions. Also called a preset value. delete: To remove data from a disk or other data storage device. Synonymous with erase. Glossary-5

LOSSARY

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.

components:

Elements or parts (of a

system) which make up the whole

(system).

computer program:

A set of instruc-

tions written for a computer that enable

it to achieve a desired result.

computer system:

A combination of

hardware, software, firmware, and

peripheral components assembled to

process data into useful information.

configuration:

The specific compo-

nents in your system (such as the

terminal, printer, and disk drives) and

the settings that define how your

system works. You use the Hardware

Setup, MaxTime or HW Setup program

to control your system configuration.

control keys:

A key or sequence of

keys you enter from the keyboard to

initiate a particular function within a

program.

controller:

Built-in hardware and

software that controls the functions of a

specific internal or peripheral device (e.

g. keyboard controller).

co-processor:

A circuit built into the

processor that is dedicated to intensive

math calculations.

CPS:

Characters per second. Typically

used to indicate the transmission speed

of a printer.

CPU:

Central processing unit. The

portion of the computer that interprets

and executes instructions.

CRT:

Cathode Ray Tube. A vacuum

unique characters.

DC:

Direct Current. Electric current

that flows in one direction. This type of

power is usually supplied by batteries.

default:
