Glossary

API. An interface by means of which one software component communicates with or controls another. Usually 

used to refer to services provided by one software component to another, usually via software interrupts or 
function calls

Application Programming Interface. See API.

ANSI Terminal. A display terminal that follows commands in the ANSI standard terminal language. For 

example, it uses escape sequences to control the cursor, clear the screen and set colors. Communications 
programs support the ANSI terminal mode and often default to this terminal emulation for dial-up 
connections to online services.

 ASCII. American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A 7 bit-plus-parity code representing 128 letters, 

numerals, punctuation marks and control characters. It is a standard data transmission code in the U.S.

Bar. The dark element in a printed bar code symbol.

Bar Code. A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in 

machine-readable form. The general format of a bar code symbol consists of a leading margin, start 
character, data or message character, check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within 
this framework, each recognizable symbology uses its own unique format. See Symbology.

Bit. Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one 

byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.

Bits per Second (bps). Bits transmitted or received.
