a named group of OpenWorkbench settings which define which RPx hardware (such as RP2, RL2, RA16, or RV8) or attenuators (PA5) are controlled from OpenWorkbench and what RCO files (compiled circuits) will be used to control the specified hardware. OpenWorkbench Device settings also allow the user to set initial values for parameters controlled by tags included in the selected RCO file. Users can enable and disable Devices depending on the experimental protocol. Also: the hardware component specified in the Device settings.
A computer subsystem such as a printer, serial port, disk drive, or video adapter. Frequently, devices require their own controlling software ( device drivers) to communicate with the computer system.
Refers to the individual hardware components that make up a unique hosted configuration. This includes servers, firewalls and load balancers.
Sometimes a harddisk is also referred to as a device, in this case the master will be called device 0 and the slave device 1. DOS also uses a device driver to support the drives, for harddisks it will use standard drivers, you can replace these drives by loading your own driver in config.sys. The standard device drivers of DOS will use the BIOS drivers to perform I/O.
(n.) A hardware component, such as a printer or disk drive, acting as a unit to perform a specific function.
Any machine or component that attaches to a computer. Most devices, whether peripheral or not, require a program called a device driver that acts as a translator, converting general commands from an application into specific commands that the device understands.
The printer's or publisher's imprint, sometimes referred to as a colophon, usually found on the copyright page when present (uncommon now). Sometimes indicates a first printing.
A machine or component that attaches to an internet connection or a computer. e.g. mouse, printer, and modem.
Refers to a piece of hardware. For example, CD-ROM, Hard Drives and Keyboards are all devices.

In a mobile context, device includes PDAs, Palms, Pocket PCs, cell phones or any hardware that provides location-independent access to information, applications or services.
physical hardware, under software control, which is typically attached either directly to an I/O bus or to an auxiliary bus (e.g. SCSI) attached to a directly-connected adapter.

A device node is created with the command mknod. The device nodes are stored in or have links to the /dev directory. When the ls -l command is used to list these files, their major and minor numbers are displayed. The major number instructs the kernel to call the device specific code associated with the device, and the minor number is passed by the kernel to the device driver to further control the action of the device driver. A block device can be accessed through an associated "raw" device special file. This allows diagnostics and checks to be performed on the data the device is offering.
