IMAGING GLOSSARY

Device driver (software)

A set of low-level software routines that work with and control a specific hardware device.

The names and functions are often standardized across many similar devices allowing higher level software to use the hardware as a generic device.

This frees the higher-level software from dealing with the particulars of specific devices and allows devices to be interchanged.
