Session 2020-2021 Class : VII Subject : Computer Chapter : 1 (My Computer) Session 2020-2021 Class : VII Subject : Computer Chapter : 1 (My Computer) Introduction: Computer is a machine that performs tasks or calculations according to a set of instructions or programs. It accepts data in the form of digitalized data and manipulates it for some result based on a program or sequence of instructions on how the data is to be processed. It is used in each and every aspect of human life such as home, education, science and research, medicine, publishing, etc. A computer is made up of two parts- hardware and software.

Answer: Bar code Reader is a device which is used to read the code from the products which are usually in the form of bars. It has a light sensitive detector which identifies the values of the bars on the products and converts them into numeric code. Question c. What is called memory? Explain briefly. Answer: Memory is a physical device which stores data or information on a temporary or permanent basis. There are two types of computer memory: (i) Primary memory: Primary memory is called the main memory of the computer. It stores data when the computer is in operation. RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read Only Memory) are two types of primary memory. (ii) Secondary memory: Secondary memory provides backup storage for data and instructions. It stores the data permanently unless it cannot be erased. It is the slowest and cheapest form of memory. It is also called non – volatile memory. CD-DVD, Pen drive, Hard disk are some secondary memories. Question d. What do you mean by Plotter? Explain briefly. Answer: Plotter is a printing device that interprets commands from a computer to make line draw on paper such as construction of maps or engineering drawing. It can draw continuous point-to-point lines from vector graphic file or commands. Plotters consist of three types: (i) Drum plotter (ii) Flatbed plotter (iii) Inkjet plotter Question e. What do you mean by software? Answer: Software is a collection of instructions and code installed into the computer. Software cannot be touched like hardware but are stored only on storage mediums. Software operates the hardware. Software is two types- System software and Application software. 5.

  • Configuring Your Plotter Or Cutter in Sign Wizard and Neon Wizard Serial
    Configuring your Plotter or Cutter in Sign Wizard and Neon Wizard Troubleshooting cutting issues is pretty straightforward if all the factors are considered. The first thing that needs to be determined is how is the cutter is physically connected. It can be one of the following: 1. Serial (COM) 2. Parallel (LPT) 3. USB 4. USB with serial adaptor Each of the above will be covered separately. Serial Serial or COM connections can be the most problematic to get right, due to the various options available. Serial connections typically have a 25-pin connection at the cutter, but can also be 9-pin. Usually at the computer end it’s a 9-pin connection, and rarely can be 25-pin. 9-in serial cable, computer 25-pin cable at the cutter end 25-pin serial cable, cutter end - female - male end - female If your cutter only has a serial connection, but your computer only has USB, you will need to use a USB to Serial adapter, available at most computer stores. We’ve had good success with the Aluratek brand, but most any brand should work. Once the serial cable is connected properly, we can get into the driver configuration. Settings Specific to Serial Cables The image below shows the standard serial port settings that most cutters have as the default: 9600 bits per second, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit, or 9600,8,N,1. You should confirm that these are the settings the cutter is using. Note also the Flow Control setting as XON/XOFF.

But as you get to bigger and better microcontrollers and microcomputers, you'll find that you don't always have an analog input, or maybe you want to avoid the noise that can seep in with an analog mic system. Once you get past 8-bit micros, you will often find an I2S peripheral, that can take digital audio data in! That's where this I2S Microphone Breakout comes in. Instead of an analog output, there are three digital pins: Clock, Data and Word-Select. When connected to your microcontroller/computer, the 'I2S Master' will drive the clock and word-select pins at a high frequency and read out the data from the microphone.

  • Computer Fundamental
    Computer Fundamental COMPUTER FUNDAMENTAL Ist Year Computer Engg. Page 1 Computer Fundamental Interconnection between Functional Components A computer consists of input unit that takes input, a CPU that processes the input and an output unit that produces output. All these devices communicate with each other through a common bus. A bus is a transmission path, made of a set of conducting wires over which data or information in the form of electric signals, is passed from one component to another in a computer. The bus can be of three types – Address bus, Data bus and Control Bus. The address bus carries the address location of the data or instruction. The data bus carries data from one component to another and the control bus carries the control signals. The system bus is the common communication path that carries signals to/from CPU, main memory and input/output devices. The input/output devices communicate with the system bus through the controller circuit which helps in managing various input/output devices attached to the computer. Ist Year Computer Engg. Page 2 Computer Fundamental Input Unit :The input unit consists of input devices that are attached to the computer. These devices take input and convert it into binary language that the computer understands. Some of the common input devices are keyboard, mouse, joystick, scanner etc. Output Unit : The output unit consists of output devices that are attached with the computer. It converts the binary data coming from CPU to human understandable form. The common output devices are monitor, printer, plotter etc. Central Processing Unit (CPU) : Once the information is entered into the computer by the input device, the processor processes it.

  • Std-VII Chapter1 Computer Fundamentals
    Std-VII Chapter1 Computer Fundamentals An input device is any hardware device that sends data to a computer, allowing you to interact with and control it. Barcode readers and scanners A BCR (barcode reader)or scanner, also known as a POS (point of sale) scanner is a hardware input device capable of reading a barcode using a laser. It can also print out the details of the product or log information about that product into a database. A perfect example of a barcode reader is a supermarket barcode scanner that reads and logs the price of a product. Optical Character Reader (OCR) OCR is an input device used to read a printed text. OCR scans the text optically, character by character, converts them into a machine readable code, and stores the text on the system memory. OMR Short for optical mark reading or optical mark recognition, OMR is the process of gathering information from human beings by recognizing marks on a document. OMR is accomplished by using a hardware device (scanner) that detects a reflection or limited light transmittance on or through a piece of paper. OMR allows for the processing of hundreds or thousands of documents per hour. For example, students may recall taking tests or surveys where they filled in bubbles on paper (shown right) with a pencil. Once the form had been completed, a teacher or teacher's assistant would feed the cards into a system that grades or gathers information from them. MICR Short for magnetic ink character recognition, MICR is a font capable of recognition using magnetically charged ink.
