Address Resolution Protocol provides a way to retrieve the MAC address associated to an IP address. 

Describes the measure of data transfer capacity.  

Category 5e was designed for transmission speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second (Gigabit Ethernet). 

Same as Category 5e, except that it is made to a higher standard. Supports transmission speeds greater than 
Gigabit Ethernet with less signal attenuation over a given length of cable. 

A type of image sensor converting light into electrical charges. 

A block of physical memory occupying consecutive addresses. 

Protocol which provides a mechanism for allocating IP addresses dynamically by a DHCP server on a 
network. Typically dedicated DHCP servers are a component of corporate networks. Used for managed 
networks. 

Also called a device driver, a program routine that links a peripheral device to the operating system.  a 
device driver is required for its frame grabber capabilities.  

Dark Signal Non-Uniformity (equivalent to FPN).  

A network device performing bridging at full wire-speed based on MAC addresses. Packet collisions are 
eliminated when using a full duplex switch. An Ethernet Switch operates at Layer 2 of the seven-layer OSI 
model. 
 

Fixed Pattern Noise (equivalent to DSNU). FPN is the peak to peak difference between the minimum and 
maximum measured values for all active valid pixels sensor in darkness. Fixed Pattern Noise does not 
include a Random Noise component.  

One complete image data set or its equivalent storage space. 

An area of memory used to hold a frame of image data. A frame buffer may exist on the acquisition 
hardware or be allocated by the acquisition hardware device driver in host system memory. 

Specification of the Automated Imaging Association (AIA, 

). Defines the 

communication interface protocol used by any GigE Vision device.
