Bluetooth wireless technology is built into a wide range of products helping to share different types of information wirelessly between two paired devices.
For serial communications, a current loop is a communication interface that uses current instead of voltage for signaling. Current loops can be used over moderately long distances (tens of kilometres), and can be interfaced with optically isolated links.
Firewall is a hardware and programming tool set which controls and filters network packages passing through it in accordance with the specified rules. Its function is the protection of computer networks and separate knots from unauthorized access.
Hub is a network device destined for the connection of several Ethernet units into the common network segment.
IEEE-488 General purpose interface bus and appropriate protocol are widely used in hardware-software systems for the connection of PC and work station with measurement instruments (e.g. in data acquisition systems).
An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label assigned to each device (e.g., computer, printer) participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.
I²C (Inter-Integrated Circuit; I2C or IIC) is a synchronous, multi-master/multi-slave (controller/target), packet switched, single-ended, serial communication bus invented in 1982 by Philips Semiconductors. It is widely used for attaching lower-speed peripheral ICs to processors and microcontrollers in short-distance, intra-board communication.
LAN is Local Area Network of a group of computers and/or any other devices placed at a relatively short distance and connected by specialized cables in order to exchange data and use common resources, such as printers, Internet access etc.
The term LiFi, which is short for Light Fidelity, was coined by one of the pioneers in the technology, Professor Harald Haas during a TEDx TALK in the year 2011. It was named after its predecessor, and the currently prevailing technology, WiFi, which stands for Wireless Fidelity.
A Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network segment.
A network gateway is a device or software that acts as a bridge between different networks, enabling communication between them. In most cases, it is a router or a specialized network device that performs this function.
Router uses a receiver’s address shown in the data burst and with the help of the routing table identifies the route which should be used for the data transfer.
Serial bus and protocol for the connection between a measuring device and a PC.
RS-485 is a standard of a physical layer for an asynchronous interface. It regulates electrical parameters of half-duplex multipoint differential communication line of “common bus”-type.
SATA (Serial AT Attachment) is a computer bus interface that connects host bus adapters to mass storage devices such as hard disk drives, optical drives, and solid-state drives.
A subnet mask is a crucial component in IP networking that helps to divide an IP address into two parts: the network portion and the host portion. It essentially determines which part of an IP address refers to the network itself and which part refers to the specific device or host on that network.
Switch is a network device destined for the connection of several Ethernet units into the common network segment. Comparing to a hub which distributes the traffic from one connected unit to the rest of units, switch transfers data to the receiver directly.
Designed for use with new Tektronix® oscilloscopes including the DPO7000 Series, TekVPI™ (Tektronix Versatile Probe Interface) probes provide intelligent bi-directional oscilloscope/probe communications resulting in a simplified user experience and easier access to relevant information while preserving excellent signal fidelity.
Thunderbolt™ technology is a transformational I/O innovation that provides a leap in performance over current I/O technologies with 10 Gbps of full-duplex bandwidth per channel.
USBTMC was introduced in order to support USB interface of test and measurement devices. For such devices there were lots of developments which used GRIB (IEEE488) commands therefore USBTMC is also the same commands-oriented.
USB features one "Universal" plug type for all USB peripheral-to-PC connections.
A device can represent a hub, a function or a combination of functions (compound device); port – connection point.
USB consists of host-controller, the main controller that is included into the system unit and controls the transmission of packets on the bus. There can be only one host on USB. PC system unit contains one or several hosts and each of them controls a separate USB.
Wi-Fi is a family of wireless network protocols used for local area networking of devices and Internet access.
ZigBee is the only standards-based wireless technology designed to address the unique needs of low-cost, low-power wireless sensor and control networks in just about any market.
