What is plotter and different types of plotter-computer world

 What is plotter and different types of plotter 

Plotter 

Plotter is used for an ideal output devices like engineering, city planner and others who need hard copy output of different size. We know that printers are used for graphics output but many engineers requires high quality output on large sheet. 

Two commonly used plotters are 

  1. Drum plotter
  2. Flatbed plotter
  3. Ink jet plotter

1. Drum plotter :

 in a drum plotter the paper on which the design is to be made is placed a the drum that can rotate in both clockwise and anticlockwise it produce vertical motion. The machine is also  consist of one or more pen holder connected to the drum surface. The pen can move left to right or right to left produce horizontal motion. The drum and pen move simultaneously to draw design and graphs on the sheet placed on the drum. 

2. Flatbed plotter :

 A flatbed plotter plot a design or graphs on a sheet of paper that is fixed over a flatbed table. In this type of plotter the paper does not move and the pen holding mechanism provide all type of motion to draw design and graphs. 

3. Ink jet plotter :

This device pushes beads of ink on the surface on which we are printing. Ink jet plotter is used by advertising agencies.

Deadlock in operating system-computer world

  Deadlock in operating system-computer world Deadlock :  In a multi-programming environment, many process may complete for a minute number of resources. A process make a request for a resource and if the resource is not available at that time, the process enter In a waiting state. A waiting state process is never again-able to change state because the resource it has requested is held by other waiting process. This situation is called deadlock. So we can say that a process is said to be deadlock when it is waiting for an event or resources which will never occurs.   so we can say that in this situation none of the process gets executed  since the resource it needs, is held by some other process which is also waits for some other resource to be released.  Let's assume that there are three process P1, P2, p3 and three different resources R1, R2 and R3. R1 is assigned to p1, R2 is assigned to P2 and R3 is assigned to P3.   After somet...

What is computer and its characteristics-computer world

  What is computer and its characteristics  Computer  :  Computer is an electronic data processing device, which accept and store data input, process the data and generates the output in a required format. computer is made up of integrated  parts (input, control, ALU, storage and output unit) All the part work together to process data so, we can say that a computer is a programmable electronic device accept row data as input and process it with  set of instruction to produce the result as output. Meaning of computer The word "computer" comes from the word "compute" which means to "calculate". The word computer is derived from the Latin word compute which means to calculate. Characteristics of computer Automatic : It is a automatic machine work by itself without human instruction. Speed :  A computer is a very fast devices. It can perform in a few second, the amount of work that a human being can do in an entire year.  Accuracy : In addition t...
