Editing Zero Rocket Systems (section)

==Data Input==
The data input for the rocket ship computer system is handled through 3 devices:
* '''The Keypad''': A standard data entry device for years the keypad is used to enter the majority of all data from field reports, computer commands and all manner of sundry.
* '''The Scanomatic''': The Scanomatic consists of two units. The first is an isolation chamber approximately one foot square with a heavy-duty sensor package. The second unit is a 6’ pull-down table used for medical diagnostics and large sample analysis. 
* '''The VECTOR''': The VEnman Communication TranslatOR is the greatest invention of Gabel Venman. It is able to directly translate spoken language into computer commands. While not as reliable as a Keypad for data entry the VECTOR allows the user to literally ‘talk’ to the AT. 
* '''Tape Drives & Cartridges''': While not strictly a data input device the Tape Drives & Cartridges are the heart and soul of the rocket ship computer system's memory. Tape Cartridges are slotted into Tape Drives and are used to store the majority of the data the rocket ship computer system processes. The data stored on the Cartridges is keyed to an identifier type, encoded as a data wave and marked with an end key. Any of the Venman-Thokum series of computers is capable of reading data a standard Tape Cartridge and the versatility of their format has put them into wide use. Tape Cartridges are capable of storing one data unit. A data unit consists of an hour of audio/video content or sensor readings. Audio/video content can be reduced in quality, or restricted to only one medium to reduce file size and increase tape storage capacity. Sensor data cannot be reasonably reduced in this manner.
