respond opportunity

In data transmission, the link level logical control condition during which a given secondary station may transmit a response.

response frame

In data transmission, all frames that may be transmitted by a secondary station.

response PDU

A protocol data unit (PDU) transmitted by a logical link control (LLC) sublayer in which the PDU command/response (C/R) bit is equal to "1".

response spectrum

A plot of the maximum response, as a function of oscillator frequency, of an array of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) damped oscillators subjected to the same base excitation. [T1.329-1995] Synonym shock spectrum.

response time

The time a system or functional unit takes to react to a given input.
Note: For example, in data processing, the response time perceived by the end user is the interval between (a) the instant at which an operator at a terminal enters a request for a response from a computer and (b) the instant at which the first character… (Read More →)

response timer (TK)

responsiveness

responsivity

In a photodetector, the ratio of the electrical output to the optical input.
Note 1: Responsivity is usually expressed in amperes per watt, or volts per watt, of incident radiant power.
Note 2: Responsivity is a function of the wavelength of the incident radiation and the bandgap of the material of which the photodetector is made. Deprecated synonym sensitivity.

restart
