1 device ID
A unique ASCII string for the device created by enumerators to identify a hardware device and used to cross-reference data about the device stored in the registry. Distinguishes each logical device and bus from all others on the system.معرّف الجهاز -
2 hardware abstraction layer
"A thin layer of software provided by the hardware manufacturer that hides, or abstracts, hardware differences from higher layers of the operating system. By means of the filter provided by the HAL, different types of hardware look alike to the rest of the operating system. This enables the operating system to be portable from one hardware platform to another. The HAL also provides routines that enable a single device driver to support the same device on all platforms."English-Arabic terms dictionary > hardware abstraction layer

3 hardware type
"A classification for similar devices. For example, Imaging Device is a hardware type for digital cameras and scanners." -
4 hardware dashboard account
"An account that is required to submit hardware certification packages, device metadata, service metadata, and drivers for Windows."English-Arabic terms dictionary > hardware dashboard account
-
5 device driver
"Software that enables hardware or peripherals (such as a printer, mouse, or keyboard) to work with your computer or mobile device." -
6 device metadata package
A.cab file that can only have one locale support and that provides all the hardware display components in order for your device information to be shown in the Control Panel. -
7 hardware compression
A feature available on some tape devices that automatically compresses the data that is being stored on the device. This is usually an option that is turned on or off in a backup program. -
8 hardware ID
A vendor-defined string used by the Plug and Play Manager to find the correct.inf file to install a particular device. -
9 smart device
A hardware device based on the Windows Embedded CE operating system or a derivative such as Windows Mobile or Windows Automotive. -
10 wave device
A hardware device capable of reproducing sound. -
11 capture device
"Hardware that transfers audio and video from an external source, such as a VCR or camcorder, to a computer." -
12 Graphics Device Interface
"An executable program that processes graphical function calls from a Windows-based application and passes those calls to the appropriate device driver, which performs the hardware-specific functions that generate output. By acting as a buffer between applications and output devices, GDI presents a device-independent view of the world for the application while interacting in a device-dependent format with the device." -
13 independent hardware vendor
A company that manufactures hardware devices and the associated device drivers.English-Arabic terms dictionary > independent hardware vendor
-
14 multifunction device
"A piece of hardware that supports multiple discrete capabilities, such as audio, mixer, and music, on a single card. This device is sometimes treated as a bus that can be enumerated to locate the devices on that bus." -
15 imaging device
A hardware type for digital cameras and scanners. -
16 watchdog
A hardware device that monitors system health and functionality by communicating with the system software. The communication is through a dedicated device driver or device timer. -
17 watchdog driver
A hardware device that monitors system health and functionality by communicating with the system software. The communication is through a dedicated device driver or device timer. -
18 watchdog timer
A hardware device that monitors system health and functionality by communicating with the system software. The communication is through a dedicated device driver or device timer. -
19 firmware
The software that is embedded in a hardware device and controls how the device interacts with the operating system. -
20 ar-sa معلَّم
