Random Access Memory. The user can read and write data from/ onto this type of memory. RAM is used to temporarily store both data and programs. As opposed to ROM, all memory stored in RAM is lost when the power is turned off and is therefore called volatile memory.
Raster Length:
The number of raster points that can be displayed per inch. Given in lines per centimeter (L/cm) or per inch (lpi). A 60 raster is 60 L/ cm or 152 lpi.
Real Image Viewfinder:
Optical real image viewfinder.
