WHAT IS OPTICAL READER AND WHAT DOES IT DO?


...


What is an optical reader in a PC?
 
Optical drives retrieve data from and/or store data on optical disks such as CDs, VCDs, DVDs, and BDs (Blu-ray disks). Optical drives in laptops, AIOs, and desktop computers enable the transfer of data from optical disks to the computer or to be read through the drive.
 
What is an optical reader test?
 
The optical form is also known as an answer sheet for exams. This optical form, which facilitates students in multiple choice exams conducted under test procedures, is marked with the answers to the questions. An optical reader is used to read the information on the optical form.
 
Where is the optical reader used?
 
These devices, also known as scanners or readers, are developed to easily and quickly read the answer sheets or optical forms of students in exams in schools, tutorial schools, universities, and other public institutions.
 
Does the optical reader make mistakes?
 
A well-functioning optical reader reads without making mistakes and doesn't bend or deform the papers. They are sensitive devices with a simple operating mechanism. Photodetectors and phototransistors are used and there are optical receptors lined up side by side in the same number as the total column.
 
How does the optical reader read?
 
The optical reader is a computer input unit that transfers information to the computer by reading marked boxes in predetermined positions on a printed paper. Thanks to these optical readers, a control operation that could take a long time to read can be completed within seconds.
 
How does optics work?
 
Optics sends beams to the surface where the mouse moves as the mouse moves. These beams are reflected from the surface and reach the CMOS (Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor, allowing it to detect movements. The CMOS sensor sends each image to the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) for analysis.
 
What is the purpose of optics?
 
Optics is a subfield of physics that studies light movements, properties, and the interaction of light with other materials. Optics mainly deals with the measurement and classification of visible light waves and the movement of infrared and ultraviolet light waves that are not visible to the naked eye.
