Motorola SSETM 5000 service manual Codeplug, Term Definition

Glossary-2

Term	Definition
codeplug	Firmware that contains the unique personality for a system or device. A
	codeplug is programmable and allows changes to system and unit
	parameters. See also firmware.
coder/decoder	A device that encodes or decodes a signal.
CPS	See Customer Programming Software.
CTS	See clear to send.
Customer	Software with a graphical user interface containing the feature set of a
Programming	radio. See also RSS.
Software
D/A	See digital-to-analog conversion.
DAC	See digital-to-analog converter.
debounce time	An amount of time (which is set using a hardware device or software)
	that ensures that only a single signal will be acted upon for a single
	opening or closing of a contact.
deemphasis	In an FM transmission, the process of restoring the amplitude-versus-
	frequency characteristics of the signal.
default	A pre-defined set of parameters.
deviation	The difference, usually the absolute difference, between a number and
	the mean of a set of numbers, or between a forecast value and the
	actual value.
digital	Refers to data that is stored or transmitted as a sequence of discrete
	symbols from a finite set; most commonly this means binary data
	represented using electronic or electromagnetic signals. See also
	analog.
digital-to-analog	Conversion of a digital signal to a voltage that is proportional to the input
conversion	value. See also A/D.
digital-to-analog	A device that converts digital data into analog signals. See also ADC.
converter
digital signal	A microcontroller specifically designed for performing the mathematics
processor	involved in manipulating analog information, such as sound, that has
	been converted into a digital form. DSP also implies the use of a data
	compression technique.
digital signal	Object code executed by the Digital Signal Processor in a subscriber
processor code	radio. The DSP is responsible for computation-intensive tasks, such as
	decoding ASTRO signaling.
DSP	See digital signal processor.
DSP code	See digital signal processor code.
