SATO CL408-412e manual Glossary

	Unit 7: Appendix
GLOSSARY
Bytes	A collection of 8 bits used in the binary system.
	As it relates to RFID, the number of bits or bytes that can be programmed into a tag. This may
Capacity	represent the bits accessible to the user or the total number - including those reserved to the
	manufacturer (e.g., parity or control bits).
Capture Window/Field	Region of the scanner field in which an RFID tag will operate.
Cavity	A recessed area in something. In the case of a die set, the core is one of two part with the core
	being its mating half.
Chamfer	To slice off the corners of an angle to create a beveled edge.
Character	Any single numeral, letter, or symbol.
Chassis Assembly	A group of components or sub-assemblies that comprise the base of an assembly.
Circumference	The periphery of a circle or other rounded object - also the measurement of this distance.
Circuit	A network of wires, resistors, and other electronic devices over which electrical impulses
	travel.
Clockwise	To rotate from left to right.
Closed Systems	As it relates to RFID, a system in which relevant data regarding the attributes of the object is
	stored in a common database accessible via data link by referencing the individual ID code.
Collar	A sleeve applied to a rod, shaft, or pipe to prevent sideward motion.
Component	A single part that may applied to others to form an assembly.
Composite	An object that is comprised of, or layered with, two or more materials to achieve a desired
	outcome.
Concave	A curved recess or hollow - the opposite of convex.
Concentric	Multiple items that share a common center - example: a circle centered within a circle.
Configuration	The arrangement of parts or components to operate in unison for a specific activity.
	To program software to enable, disable, or specify how various features will function.
Connector	Devices for joining electrical and electronic circuits through coupling. Typically, one mating half
	is a plug (male) and the other is a socket (female).
Convex	A spherical shaped surface - one that is curved outward.
Core	The protruding portion of a die set. The core is one of two parts and the cavity being its mating
	half. The core is convexed and the cavity is concaved.
	(Central Processing Unit) A programmable device that performs all the instruction, logic, and
CPU	mathematical processing in a computer - is the brains of the computer. The CPU is a microchip
	that is installed on a motherboard (primary board) that coordinates hardware components.
	Also referred to as “processor”.
Counter-Clockwise	To rotate from right to left.
Couple	Two mating halves that are connected - example: a plug or receptacle.
Cubic	The X, Y, and Z axis all being equal in size - a three-dimensional object that is equally
	proportioned.
Current	The flow or rate of flow of electric force.
Cycle	A single revolution of a potentially reoccurring activity - in the case of printer, one label being
	printed.
DC	(Direct Current) Electrical current flowing in a single direction.
Density	The quantity within a given or specific area or unit.
Deviation	A change in course or the measurement of that change.
Diameter	A straight line from the outer edge of a circle, through the center, and onward to the opposite
	edge. Also the measurement of that distance (dimension).
Dimension	Any measurable distance.
