their bias. They use little electricity and react relatively quickly. They require external
light to reflect their information to the user.
MIL
1 mil = 1 thousandth of an inch.
Near-Field Communication (NFC)
A form of contactless communication two electronic devices over a distance of 4 cm (1
1
⁄
2 in) or less. Contactless communication allows a user to wave a device over a NFC
compatible device to send information without needing to touch the devices together
or go through multiple steps setting up a connection.
Pairing

or printed with a particular device or method.
RF
Radio Frequency.
ROM
Read-Only Memory. Data stored in ROM cannot be changed or removed.
Scanner
An electronic device used to scan bar code symbols and produce a digitized pattern that
corresponds to the bars and spaces of the symbol. Its three main components are:
•
Light source (laser or photoelectric cell) - illuminates a bar code.
•
Photodetector - registers the difference in reflected light (more light reflected
from spaces).
•
Signal conditioning circuit - transforms optical detector output into a digitized bar
pattern.
SDK
Software Development Kit.
Subnet
A subset of nodes on a network that are serviced by the
same router.
Symbol
