Unit Input (Input Device) This unit serves as a medium to incorporate external data into a memory andprocessor to be processed to produce the required information. Input devices orinput unit which is generally used personal computer (PC) is a keyboard andmouse, keyboard and mouse is a unit that connects the user (users) with acomputer. In addition there is a joystick, which is used for playing games or gameswith a computer. Then the scanner, to take pictures as digital images that can later be manipulated. Touch panel, with the touch of a finger users can perform a fileaccess process. Microphone, to record the sound into the computer. Serves as a media input device to input data from external systems into a memoryand processor for processing and generating the necessary information. Data is entered into the computer system can be shaped input signal input andmaintenance. Signal input form data entered into the computer system, whilemaintenance program input form used to process the data entered. So in addition to input device used to input data can also be used to enter the program. By its nature, the input devices can be classified into two general categories: peratalan direct input, the input is entered directly processed by the processingtool. For example: keyboard, mouse, touch screen, light pen, graphics digitizertablet, scanner. Equipment not a direct input, input via a particular medium before an input is processed by a processing tool. For example: the punched card, floppy disk, hard disk. Unit of input or input device consists of several kinds of devices, namely:
a. keyboard Keyboard input is the most important unit in a data processing with computers. The keyboard works include letters, numbers, special characters as well as a mediumfor the user (users) to perform other commands are required, such as saving a fileand open the file. Creation of a computer keyboard comes from the typewritermodel was created and patented by Christopher Latham in 1868, and in 1887 thecompany manufactured and marketed by Remington. The keyboard isdigunakanan now this is kind of QWERTY, in 1973, was inaugurated as thekeyboard standard keyboard ISO (International Standards Organization). The number keys on the keyboard consists of 104 keys. The keyboard is now that weknow has some kind of port, the serial port, ps2, usb and wireless.

b. mouse Mouse is one input unit (input device). This tool is a function pointer or cursor tomove quickly. In addition, orders can be as practical and faster than the keyboard.Mouse began to be used to its full potential since the operating system has beenbased GUI (Graphical User Interface). electrical signals as a mouse input device isgenerated by a small ball inside the mouse, according to the shifting or movement.Most of the mouse consists of three buttons, two buttons are generally only usedthe left button and right button. Currently the mouse is also equipped with rollers(scroll), where the location of the button is located in the middle. The termsuppression is called by clicking the left button (Click) where the emphasis is goingto function when the mouse is on a designated object, but if not on a designatedobject of this emphasis will be ignored. There are also other terms that are calledby dragging (drag) is pressing the left mouse button without releasing the while being moved. This drag will cause the object to be moved or copied to other objects and other possibilities. The emphasis of the left mouse button twice quickly and regularly referred to by double-clicking (double click) while pressing the right mouse button once called by rightclicking (right click) Mouse port is composed ofseveral serial mouse, mouse ps / 2, USB and wireless .

c.touchpad Enter this unit can usually be found on laptops and notebooks, by using your fingertips. Normally this unit can be used instead of a mouse. In addition to the touchpad is a similar model units enter the pointing stick and trackball.

d. Light Pen Light pens are electronic pointers that are used for the modification and to designan image with a screen (monitor). Light pen has a sensor that can transmit light signals to a computer which is then recorded, where the monitor works byrecording the electronic signal every six rows per second.

e. Joy Stick and Games Paddle This tool is commonly used in games (games) computer. Joy Stick is usually astick, while the games are usually paddle-shaped or square box made of plasticcomes with buttons that will govern the motion of an object in a computer.

f. barcode Barcode included in the input unit (input device). Function of this tool is to read acode that shaped boxes or bold vertical lines which are then translated intonumbers. These codes are usually attached to food products, beverages,electronics and books. Today, every cashier in the supermarket or supermarkets inIndonesia to identify the products it sells with a barcode.

g. Scanner Scanner is a tool that can serve to either copy or copy images or text which is thenstored in computer memory. Of the next computer memory, stored in a hard disk orfloppy disk. This scanner functions like copy machines, copy machines the difference is that the results can be seen on the paper while the scanner results can be displayed via the monitor in advance so we can make improvements ormodifications and can then be stored back in the form of text file or image file. In addition there is also a scanner to scan images that are commonly used to detect the computer answer sheet. Scanners used to scan the computer answer sheetSCAN IR is commonly used for LJK (Computer Answer Sheet) on general testsand the National Examination. Scan type consists of light called optical sensor,which can recognize the type 2B pencil. Scanners on the market is a scanner to copy an image or photo and usually also equipped with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to copy or copy the object in text form.

h. Digital cameras Technological developments have advanced so that the computer is capable of receiving input from the camera. The camera is called the Digital camera withbetter image quality and better than I copy the image using a scanner. Sharpness of images from digital cameras is determined by its pixels. Ease and practicality ofthis tool is helpful a lot of activities and jobs. Digital cameras do not need a filmcamera as usual. Pictures taken with digital cameras stored into the memory of the camera is in the form of files, and can be moved or transferred to a computer.Digital cameras on the market today there are many different types, ranging from the type of camera to take pictures with the camera static up to recording live ormoving images such as video.

i. Microphone and Headphone Input units serves to record or insert sound to be stored in computer memory or tolisten to the voice. With a microphone, you can record sound or can talk to peoplewho we want when chat. Use of this microphone would require other hardware that serves to receive the voice input sound card and speakers to hear the sound.

j. Graphics Pads Technology Computer Aided Design (CAD) can make the design of the building,house, car engines, and aircraft using the Graphics Pads. Graphics input inputpads is to draw objects on the monitor. Graphics pads used to have two types.First, using a needle (stylus) which is connected to the pad or pads using lowvoltages, which are included on the bearing surface of the touch-sensitivemembrane (touch sensitive surface membrane). Low voltage that is sent is then translated into the coordinates of X - Y. Second, using a touchsensitive pad (touchsensitive pad) without using a needle. It works by putting on the pads of drawing paper, and inscribed in pencil.
