Erik Østergaard - Converse Bit(s) and Byte(s) / Omregn bit(s) og byte(s)

Memory and mass storage measure / Hukommelse og masselager mål

Enter a number of the chosen unit of measurement in one of the fields in selected group, then click outside the text box. Use only the period (.) as a valid decimal separator. / Skriv et tal for den valgte måleenhed i et af felterne i udvalgt gruppe, klik herefter udenfor tekst boksen. Brug kun punktum (.) som en gyldig decimal separator.

The metric system / Det metriske system

In some cases when used to describe data transfer rates bits/bytes are calculated as in the metric system as follows: / I nogle tilfælde når bits/bytes bruges til at beskrive data overførselshastigheder beregnes som i det metriske system som følger:

• 1 MB = 1,000,000 bits/bytes
• 1 kb = 1,000 bits/bytes
• 1 bit/byte

The period (.) is used as decimal separator. / Punktum (.) er brugt som decimal separator.

The calculations is based on: / Beregningerne er baseret på:

In the cases when used to describe data storage bits/bytes are calculated as follows: / I de tilfælde bits/bytes bruges til at beskrive data hukommelse og lager beregnes som følger:

• 1 byte = 8 bits
• 1 kilobyte (K / KB) = 2^10 bytes = 1,024 bytes
• 1 megabyte (M / MB) = 2^20 bytes = 1,048,576 bytes
• 1 gigabyte (G / GB) = 2^30 bytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes
• 1 terabyte (T / TB) = 2^40 bytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
• 1 petabyte (P / PB) = 2^50 bytes = 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes
• 1 exabyte (E / EB) = 2^60 bytes = 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes

The period (.) is used as decimal separator. / Punktum (.) er brugt som decimal separator.

• ASCII Code
• The first 32 characters, ASCII codes 0 through 1Fh, form a special set of non-printing characters called the control characters.
• The second group of 32 ASCII character codes comprise various punctuation symbols, special characters, and the numeric digits.
• The third group of 32 ASCII characters is reserved for the upper case alphabetic characters and six special symbols.
• The fourth, and final, group of 32 ASCII character codes are reserved for the lower case alphabetic symbols, five additional special symbols, and another control character (delete).
