Data Acquisition

Lux-secondSI unit of light exposure.Manchester encoding Digital technique (specified for the IEEE 802.3Ethernet baseband network standard) in whicheach bit period is divided into two complementaryhalves. A negative to positive voltage transition inthe middle of the bit period designates a binary 1,whilst a positive to negative transition represents a0. The encoding technique also allows thereceiving device to recover the transmitted clockfrom the incoming data stream (self-clocking).MAPManufacturing automation protocol. A suite ofnetworking protocols originated by GeneralMotors which track the seven layers of the OSImodel. A reduced implementation is referred toas a miniMAP.Mark This is equivalent to a binary 1.MaskMaskingMaskingModemModem eliminatorMorphologyMSBMultidropA structure covering certain portions of aphotosensitive medium during photographicprocessing.Programming technique for suppressing the use ofcertain bits in a register.Setting portions of an image at a constant value,either black or white. Also the process ofoutlining an image and then matching it to testimages.Modulator-demodulator. A device used to convertserial digital data from a transmitting terminal toa signal suitable for transmission over a telephonechannel or to reconvert the transmitted signal toserial digital data for the receiving terminal.A device used to connect a local terminal and acomputer port, in lieu of the pair of modems towhich they would ordinarily connect, allowingDTE and DTE data and control signalconnections, otherwise not easily achieved bystandard cables or connections.The study of a structure/form of object in animage.Most significant byte or most significant bit.A single communication line or bus used toconnect three or more points.
