TCP/IP

Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol. The basic communication protocol (or language) of the Internet that has become the global standard for network communications since it ensures faithful data transmission. TCP/IP uses the client-servercommunication model, in which a computer user (client) makes requests and is provided services by a network computer (server). TCP/IP is a two-layered protocol. TCP is the upper transport layer, which ensures delivery of the entire file/message. TCP manages the assembly of files/messages into “packets” that are transmitted to and received by another TCP layer. That TCP layer then reassembles the packets into its original format. IP is the lower network layer, which routes the data to different destinations (LANs or WANs) based on the network address. TCP/IP is a routable protocol, which ensures that all messages contain the address of both the destination computer (station) and destination network. This makes it possible for messages to be transmitted to multiple networks.

Trigger

A signal that allows image acquisition to be synchronized to external events. If supported, a digitizer can operate in one of two modes upon receiving a trigger:

-Asynchronous reset mode. If your digitizer supports and uses this mode, the camera is reset to begin a new frame when the trigger signal is received by the digitizer.

-Next valid frame/field mode. If your digitizer supports and uses this mode, the digitizer will grab the next valid frame or field.

Vertical sync

The part of a video signal that indicates the end of a frame (or field) and the start of a new one.

See also horizontal sync.

Vpp

Voltage peak to peak. The signal amplitude measured between the maximum positive and negative voltage peak excursions of a signal.
