Function keys can be divided into two different types: the normal
function keys which are assigned a particular function of the
computer (for example, delete key), and programmable function
keys (softkeys).
Hard disk drives (Winchester drives) are a form of magnetic disk
memory where the magnetic disks are permanently built into the
drive.
The hardware is the technical equipment of a computer or PG.
Input/output modules
A graphical representation of an element in Windows, such as a
disk drive, directory, group, application, or document. You can
enlarge an application icon to a window when you want to use the
application. Some elements on the screen or in a window are also
used as icons in the tool bar of a drive or a directory, for example,
in the File Manager.
An interface is:
The connection between individual hardware elements such as
PLC, PG, printer or monitor via physical connections (cables).
The connection between different programs, to enable them to
work together. Program modules are used for this purpose.
They specify the access to files and the representation of data
and adjust the operation mode of the program.
Module controlling or extending the hardware peripherals.
