2.1 Worksheet Input Device

Input devices allow data to be input into a computer. Pointing devices like a mouse, touchpad, and tracker ball are used to control the movement of the cursor on a screen. A touchpad is built into laptops and is more difficult to use than a mouse. Numeric keypads can be used at ATMs, point-of-sale devices, or for chip and pin entry. Remote controls can be used from a distance. Microphones and webcams can be used in web conferences. Sensors read analog signals while computers read digital signals, requiring an analog-to-digital converter to interpret the sensor data.

Questions
Chapter 2: Input and output devices

1) Describe three different types of input devices you use?


Mouse, Microphone and Webcam

2) Describe three different types of sensors and their use?


Temperature sensor- used in central heating systems, automatic ovens and glasshouses.
Light sensor- used in automatic doors, alarm systems, street lighting control
Pressure sensor- used in robotics, washing machines, environmental monitoring.
3) Why can computers not read data from sensors?
Because computers only understand digital data, so the data are converted by ADC.

4) What is required for a computer to read data from a sensor?

The data are converted by ADC, so analogue to digital converter (ADC) is required.
