	Glossary
	Many definitions for this Glossary were taken directly from the Microsoft
	Developer’s Network website at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp.
1D Bar Code	A traditional linear bar code. The code itself contains no information about the item to
	which it is assigned but represents a string of identifying numbers or letters.
2D Bar Code	Two-dimensional (2D) bar codes permit the encoding of information about an item in addi-
	tion to an identifying code. Two axes, or directions, are used for recording and reading the
	codes and the bar size is reduced, increasing the space available for data.
ActiveSync	Microsoft Windows communication application that synchronizes a Windows CE or Win-
	dows Mobile device with a Microsoft Windows-based host PC. ActiveSync can use RS-
	232, IrDA, and USB.
AP	Access Point used for RF applications.
ASCII	American Standard Code for Information Interchange; a code for information exchange
	between computers made by different companies; a string of 7 binary digits represents
	each character; used in most microcomputers. Any member of the standard code for rep-
	resenting characters by binary numbers.
Check Digit	A character included within a string of data whose value is used for the purpose of per-
	forming a mathematical check to ensure the accuracy of that data.
Checksum	A summation of check digits used to determine if an error has occurred in the transmis-
	sion of data.
CLSI	CLSI, Inc., developer of the “LIBS 100 scanning and decoding system”. The “Convert to
	CLSI” parameter refers to formatting a Codabar bar code label in the manner defined by
	CLSI, Inc.
Context Sensitive	Context sensitive help can tell where you are in a program and can provide assistance
Help	with the specific problems you might be having.
Control	A standardized part of the window that can be manipulated by the user to perform an
	action or display information. The most common controls are buttons that allow the user
	to select options and scroll bars that allow the user to move through a document or posi-
	tion text in a window.
