Data Verification - It is to check the data for error
Proof-Reading
The person entering the data simply
reads through what they have entered
to check it is correct or not. Usually
checked with the original copy.
Double-Entry
The data is entered twice. The
computer compares the data, and
anything that doesn't match is
questioned.
Data Validation - it is to check the data
input is incomplete or unreasonable
Presence- Check
It is a check to see if
the data is entered.
E.G: You forgetting to type
ponylover43@yahoo.com.sg
in the E-mail section. Then
there is a warning that says
you need to type it in.
Format-Check
It checks whether the
data is in the correct
format.
E..G:date should
be in DD/MM/YYYY
(Not like USA)
Check-Digit
Used for numerical data. An extra
digit is added to a number which is
calculated from the digits. The
computer checks this calculation
when data are entered
Character-Type
Check
Character type
check is a check to
make sure only
certain types of
characters are in
the data.
E.G: A name should
not have numbers.
Range-Check
A range check is a check
to make sure a number is
within a certain range.
E.G: A driver's age should be 17 to 99.
Parity check
Use the last digit of a set of data to check the correctness of data. In a
set of data,, the last digit is used as parity digit. If there are even
number of 1 in this set of data, the parity digit is set to 0. If there are
odd number of 1 in this set of data, the parity digit is set to 1.
Data Process
Batch Processing
Batch processing is where the data is
collected first, and then at a certain
period of time, usually after a month,
the data will be updated.
Adv - The data can be processed at a later time so that
the resources can be used to perform other tasks
Real-time Process
Real-time Processing is where
the data is collected and
updated on the spot.
Adv - the data will be updated immediately
Data Collection
Open-Loop
The sensor detects a change in
value. Then, it will send a signal
to the ADC, which will convert
the signal from analog to digital
for the computer to interpret.
Then it will send a signal to the
computer. The computer will
display the signal, showing that
there is a change in the value.
Sensor
Analog to Digital
Converter(ADC)
Computer
Close Loop
The sensor detects a difference in the
system. Then, it will send a signal to the ADC,
which will convert the signal from analog to
digital for the computer to interpret. Then, it
will send a signal to the computer. The
computer will compare the original value
with the current value. Then, it will send a
signal to the DAC, which converts the signal
from digital to analog. Then, it will send a
signal to the actuator which will change the
current value to its original value.

Data Transfer
Network Topology (for sharing of resources
and easy communication with each other)
Star
Adv - Easy to modify (add
or reduce no of computer)
Disadv - More expensive because
all computers need to link to a
central location using cables
Ring
Adv - Reduce chances
of collision of data
Disadv - If one computer fails, the
whole network is affected
Bus
Adv - Simple and easy to set up
Disadv - Heavy traffic can slow
down the network because all
computers shares the main line
