BATTLE PLANS
CDC mode
CDC (Communications Device Class) mode emulates a serial COM port allows two-way communication between the scanner and computer for status and control. Requires a driver for a serial port.
HID
Human Interface Device drivers for keyboards, mouse, trackball, handheld scanners, foot switch and anything that gets info from the human to the computer. Only one way communication.
SCSI
Small Computer System Interface (pronounce SKUZZY) an old mostly external interface for hard drives and scanners that could be daisy chained together replaced by the faster SATA, Firewire, or USB connections.
Widgets
Are used by themes to add information and elements to a webpage, such as a map, address, image slider.
Debian Linux Distro
One of the oldest distros of Linux know to be stable and reliable. Linux is just a kernel (the core of an OS). A distro (distribution) is when someone takes that kernel and bundles it with a package manager, desktop environment, default apps, and configuration to make a complete, usable operating system.
Tarbell
From “Tape Archive” an non- compressed method of combining files and directorys into a single file.
Tuesdays 8 PM Pacific 95.1 FM
