Glossary
16-bit / 32-bit 7
“16-bit” and “32-bit” refer to the architecture of an operating system and applications software that runs
under that operating system. The 16-bit software processes data 16 bits at a time, and 32-bit software
processes data 32 bits at a time. As a result, 32-bit programs and operating systems are generally faster
and more advanced than their 16-bit counterparts.
AC adapter 7
An adapter that provides external power (not battery power) to your Stylistic LT.
ACPI 7
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
The ACPI standard allows system designers to determine how a particular system supports power
management. ACPI supports power management through improved hardware and operating system
coordination. The ACPI specification was developed by Intel, Microsoft, and Toshiba.
API 7
Application Programming Interface
A predefined set of routines and tools that tells the computer the correct order in which to run procedures
when building a particular application. Using an API allows a programmer to create a similar
look-and-feel between different programs.
APM 7
Advanced Power Management
A power management standard designed to help make battery use more efficient by recognizing which
system devices need power and which don’t. The API bypasses those which don’t need power, until they
are required. APM allows developers to use the BIOS setup to control power management on a computer.
baud rate 7
The number of transitions occurring per second on a transmission..
BIOS 7
Basic Input/Output System
The BIOS is comprised of the instructions that the system needs in order to start up and allow the various
input and output devices to communicate with each other and the system.
calibrate 7
The process that determines how the stylus and touch screen interact. You can calibrate both the screen
alignment and the stylus double-tap settings.
