GLOSSARY
BARCODES (1D CODES)
A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric
data in machine-readable form. The general format of a barcode symbol consists of a
leading margin, start character, data or message character, check character (if any), stop
character, and trailing margin. Within this framework, each recognizable symbology
uses its own unique format.
BIT
Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive
bits compose one byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines
its meaning.
BITS PER SECOND (BPS)
Number of bits transmitted or received per second.
BYTE
On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a pat-
tern to represent a specific character or numeric value. Bits are numbered from the
right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte in memory can be used to store
one ASCII character.
COLOR INSPECTION
Color processing is an effective method to extract meaningful information out of the
picture. Impact offers a wide set of color tools, for more details see Impact Reference
Guide.
CPM (CONTROL PANEL MANAGER)
Is an IDE that can create a graphical user interface with images, parameters, controls for
the Machine Vision Inspection.
CPMRE (CONTROL PANEL MANAGER RUNTIME ENVIRONMENT)
Is the application to run the Graphical User Interface created with CPM. CPMRE can only
run the GUI, editing is not enabled.
DECODE
To recognize a barcode symbology (e.g., Codabar, Code 128, Code 3 of 9, UPC/EAN, etc.)
and analyze the content of the barcode scanned.
