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.
