Unit 7: Appendix
S8400 Series Operator Manual
7-18 PN: 9001160B
Bytes A collection of 8 bits used in the binary system.
Capacity
As it relates to RFID, the number of bits or bytes that can be programmed into a tag. This may
represent the bits accessible to the user or the total number - including those reserved to the
manufacturer (e.g., parity or control bits).
Capture Window/Field Region of the scanner field in which an RFID tag will operate.
Cavity
A recessed area in something. In the case of a die set, the core is one of two part with the core
being its mating half.
Chamfer To slice off the corners of an angle to create a beveled edge.
Character Any single numeral, letter, or symbol.
Chassis Assembly A group of components or sub-assemblies that comprise the base of an assembly.
Circumference The periphery of a circle or other rounded object - also the measurement of this distance.
Circuit
A network of wires, resistors, and other electronic devices over which electrical impulses
travel.
Clockwise To rotate from left to right.
Closed Systems
As it relates to RFID, a system in which relevant data regarding the attributes of the object is
stored in a common database accessible via data link by referencing the individual ID code.
Collar A sleeve applied to a rod, shaft, or pipe to prevent sideward motion.
Component A single part that may applied to others to form an assembly.
Composite
An object that is comprised of, or layered with, two or more materials to achieve a desired
outcome.
Concave A curved recess or hollow - the opposite of convex.
Concentric Multiple items that share a common center - example: a circle centered within a circle.
Configuration
The arrangement of parts or components to operate in unison for a specific activity.
To program software to enable, disable, or specify how various features will function.
Connector
Devices for joining electrical and electronic circuits through coupling. Typically, one mating half
is a plug (male) and the other is a socket (female).
Convex A spherical shaped surface - one that is curved outward.
Core
The protruding portion of a die set. The core is one of two parts and the cavity being its mating
half. The core is convexed and the cavity is concaved.
CPU
(Central Processing Unit) A programmable device that performs all the instruction, logic, and
mathematical processing in a computer - is the brains of the computer. The CPU is a microchip
that is installed on a motherboard (primary board) that coordinates hardware components.
Also referred to as “processor”.
Counter-Clockwise To rotate from right to left.
Couple Two mating halves that are connected - example: a plug or receptacle.
Cubic
The X, Y, and Z axis all being equal in size - a three-dimensional object that is equally
proportioned.
Current The flow or rate of flow of electric force.
Cycle
A single revolution of a potentially reoccurring activity - in the case of printer, one label being
printed.
DC (Direct Current) Electrical current flowing in a single direction.
Density The quantity within a given or specific area or unit.
Deviation A change in course or the measurement of that change.
Diameter
A straight line from the outer edge of a circle, through the center, and onward to the opposite
edge. Also the measurement of that distance (dimension).
Dimension Any measurable distance.
