Motorola MC65 C, D

bps. See Bits Per Second.

Byte. On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combi ned 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 is used to store one ASCII character.

CDRH. Center for Devices and Radiological Health. A federal agency responsib le for regulating laser product safety. This

agency specifies various laser operation classes based on power out put during operation.

CDRH Class 1. This is the lowest power CDRH laser classification. This class is considered intrinsi cally safe, even if all laser

output were directed into the eye's pupil. There are no special operating procedures for this class.

CDRH Class 2. No additional software mechanisms are needed to conform to this limit . Laser operation in this class poses

no danger for unintentional direct human exposure.

Character. A pattern of bars and spaces which either directly represents data or indic ates a control function, such as a

number, letter, punctuation mark, or communications control contained in a message.

Codabar. A discrete self-checking code with a character set consisting of dig its 0 to 9 and six additional characters: (“-”, “$”,

“:”, “/”, “,” and “+”).

Code 128. A high density symbology which allows the controller to encod e all 128 ASCII characters without adding extra

symbol elements.

Code 3 of 9 (Code 39). A versatile and widely used alphanumeric bar code symbology with a set o f 43 character types,

including all uppercase letters, numerals from 0 to 9 and 7 special character s (“-”, “.”, “/”, “+”, “%”, “$” and space). The

code name is derived from the fact that 3 of 9 elements representing a charac ter are wide, while the remaining 6 are

narrow.

Code 93. An industrial symbology compatible with Code 39 but offering a full ch aracter ASCII set and a higher coding

density than Code 39.

COM port. Communication port; ports are identified by number, e.g., COM1, COM2.

Cradle. 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.

DCP. See Device Configuration Package.

Decode. To recognize a bar code symbology (e.g., UPC/EAN) and then analyze the c ontent of the specific bar code

scanned.

Decode Algorithm. A decoding scheme that converts pulse widths into data representation of the letters or numbers

encoded within a bar code symbol.
