Lesson 4.2 Remote Systems - Key Terms

Key Terms

AB
AnalogA way of representing some physical quantity, such as temperature or velocity, by a proportional continuous voltage or current.
DigitalA way of representing a physical quantity by a series of binary numbers.
EncoderA digital circuit that produces an output code depending on which of its inputs is activated.
InputInformation fed into a data processing system or computer.
LatitudeLatitude is a coordinate that is used to specify positions on a sphere. The latitude of a place is the distance of the place to the equator, measured in degrees along a circle between the two poles.
LongitudeLongitude is a coordinate that is used to specify positions on a sphere. The longitude of a place is the distance of the place to the prime meridian, measured in degrees along a circle at a fixed distance to the poles of the sphere.
Output`The information produced by a computer.
PotentiometerA switch that can provide variable motion control. It can vary the resistance within the switch, which affects both the current and voltage flowing out of the switch.
Servo MotorAny motor that is modified to give feedback concerning the motor's speed, direction of rotation, and number of revolutions.
Topographical MapA map showing the three-dimensional nature of the terrain surface (elevations and landforms) as well as other ground features.
UAVA way of representing some physical quantity, such as temperature or velocity, by a proportional continuous voltage or current.
