SAT
Saturation Output Amplitude. SAT is the average maximum output level for a specified light input.
Scatter Gather
Host system memory allocated for frame buffers is virtually contiguous but physically scattered throughout all available memory.
SNR
Signal to Noise Ratio. SNR measures the ratio between random noise and an arbitrary reference signal on the transmission path or within a device.
Subnet
The subnet is identified by performing the logical AND of the IP address with its subnet mask.
TCP
Trigger
A mechanism that initiates an action when an event occurs such as synchronizing an image acquisition to an external event. A trigger generally causes a program routine to be executed such as the resetting of camera exposure and/or the firing of a strobe light.
UDP
User Datagram Protocol is a connectionless transport protocol providing no guaranty of delivery or reliability. GigE Vision Control Protocol and GigE Vision Stream Protocol are based on UDP.
VLAN
A Virtual Local Area Network is a flexible arrangement where computers connected via a VLAN Ethernet switch are not necessarily on the same LAN broadcast domain. Refer to the VLAN Ethernet switch documentation for implementation and configuration details.
VPN
A virtual private network is a private data network that makes use of the public telecommunication infrastructure, maintaining privacy through the use of a tunneling protocol and security procedures. The idea of the VPN is to give the company the same capabilities at much lower cost by using the shared public infrastructure rather than a private one. (source: www.netunlimited.com/glossary.html )
