Limitations of Microcomputer:-

1. It has limitations on the size of data.

2. The applications are limited by the physical address space.
3. The analog signals cannot be processed directly and digitizing the analog signals introduces errors.
4. The speed of execution is slow and so real time applications are not possible.
5. Most of the microprocessors do not support floating point operations.
Storing Data-
Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting
of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. It is a core function and
fundamental component of computers.
In contemporary usage, memory is usually semiconductor storage read-write random-access memory,
typically DRAM (Dynamic-RAM) or other forms of fast but temporary storage. Storage consists of
storage devices and their media not directly accessible by the CPU, (secondary or tertiary storage),
typically hard disk drives, optical disc drives, and other devices slower than RAM but are non-
volatile (retaining contents when powered down). Historically, memory has been called core, main
memory, real storage or internal memory while storage devices have been referred to as secondary
storage, external memory or auxiliary/peripheral storage.
A modern digital computer represents data using the binary numeral system. Text, numbers, pictures,
audio, and nearly any other form of information can be converted into a string of bits, or binary digits,
each of which has a value of 1 or 0. The most common unit of storage is the byte, equal to 8 bits. A
piece of information can be handled by any computer or device whose storage space is large enough to
accommodate the binary representation of the piece of information, or simply data. For example,
the complete works of Shakespeare, about 1250 pages in print, can be stored in about five
megabytes (forty million bits) with one byte per character.
The defining component of a computer is the central processing unit (CPU, or simply processor),
because it operates on data, performs computations, and controls other components. In the most
commonly used computer architecture, the CPU consists of two main parts: control unit and arithmetic
logic unit (ALU). The former controls the flow of data between the CPU and memory; the latter
performs arithmetic and logical operations on data.
Repeatability
The ability to obtain consistent results when measuring the same part with the same measuring
instrument.
Repeatability is a statistical term associated with accuracy; it describes how a point is repeated. If a
robot joint is instructed to move by the same angle from a certain point a number of times, all with
equal environmental conditions, it will be found that the resultant motions lead to differing
displacements. Although a target is always missed by a large margin, if the same error is repeated,
then we say that the repeatability is high and the accuracy is poor. Repeatability does not describe the
error with respect to absolute coordinates. System repeatability is the positional deviation from the
average of displacements.
