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.

Single partition allocation, Multiple-partition allocation and Fixed Equal-size partitions in operating system-computer world

  Single partition allocation, Multiple-partition allocation and Fixed Equal-size partitions in operating system Single partition allocation In this scheme operating system is residing in law memory and user process are executing in higher memory. Advantages It is simple  It is easy to understand and use Disadvantages User job is limited to the size of available memory. It leads to poor Utilization of processor and memory. Multiple-partition allocation  It is the simplest method for allocating  memory is divided memory into several fixed size partitions. Fixed Equal-size partitions It divides the main memory Into equal number of fixed sized partitions, operating system occupies some fixed portion and remaining portion of main memory is available for user processes. Advantages It supports multi programming. A process whose size is less then or equal to the partitions size can be loaded into any available partition. Disadvantages If a program is big to fit in...

Memory in computer (primary, secondary and cache memory)-computer world

  Memory : A memory just like a human brain.It is used to store data and instructions. Computer memory is the storage space in the computer, where data is to be processed and instruction  required processing are stored. Computer memory is classified into following types : 1. Cache memory : Cache memory is a very high speed semiconductor memory which can speed up the CPU. It act as buffer(small storage are ) Between the CPU and main memory. We can say that it is a high speed memory between CPU and RAM and it is used temporary store very active data and instruction during processing.  2. Primary memory : Primary holds only that data and instruction on which the computer is currently working. Data holds by primary memory is lost when power is switched of. Primary is not fast as resisters. Primary is divided into two subcategory's : 1. RAM(Random access memory) : Random access memory is a form of computer memory that can be read and change in any any order typically ...

Definition of computer cables and types of cables

Definition of computer cables and types of cables Definition  of computer cables : A cable is one or more wires which are covered in plastic that transmitter power or data between devices and computers. A cables is also known as cord, connector or plug. Data cables provides communication between devices for example DVD and HDMI, USB cables and Cat 5. A power cable is used for supply the power and electricity. Types of cables : There are many types of cables used in computer science some of them are given below : Coaxial cable Twisted cable Optical cable Coaxial cable :   It is consist of a central copper wire surrounded  by a copper mess.  Coaxial cables are used for transmitting data at high rate. Coaxial tables are used by telephone companies to transmit data because cables handle  up to 40000 telephone calls simultaneously. Coaxial  cables group of specially wrapped and insulated wires.   Twisted pair cab...
