Types of output
In control theory
In
control theory, the outputs of a
system are what can be measured. Specifically, outputs are differentiated from
states.
In equity theory
In
equity theory, output is the benefits that an employee receives, including money, perquisites, power, status, fame or variety.
In information processing
In
information processing, output is the
process of transmitting
information or the transmitted information itself. Essentially, output is any data exiting a computer system. This could be in the form of printed paper, audio, video. In the medical industry this might include CT scans or x-rays. Typically in computing, data is entered through various forms (input) into a computer, the data is often manipulated, and then information is presented to a human (output).
In macro-economics
In
Macro-economics,
output is the produced goods and services in an economy. A distinction is drawn between
Gross Output and
Net output.
In human-computer interaction
In
human-computer interaction, output is information produced by the
computer program and perceived by the
user. The kinds of output the program produces, and the kinds of
input the program accepts, define the
user interface of the program. In this context,
feedback and output are often used interchangeably. However, output tends to refer specifically to explicit output, something that's intentionally provided for the user, whereas feedback also encompasses byproducts of operation that happen to contain information (see
low-key feedback).
In telecommunications
In
telecommunication, the term output can refer to:
- Information retrieved from a functional unit or from a network, usually after some processing.
- An output state, or sequence of states.
- Pertaining to a device, process, or channel involved in the production of data by a computer or by any of its components.
