Logic gates implemented using particular configurations of resistors and bipolar junction transistors. For the majority of today's designers, resistor-transistor logic is of historical interest only.

Right-To-Left - a way of writing and reading texts used for example in Arabic and Hebrew languages. See also LTR.

Register Transfert Language

An acronym for raster translation language. RTL, a subset of HPGL/2, is a format used for driving color printers.

raster transfer language. The language commonly used to output data from a RIP and transfer it to the digital printer. The printer picks up the RTL data and outputs the information.

Raster Transfer Language. A printer/plotter language developed by Hewlett-Packard for output of CAD files to large output devices. Rather than converting the drawing to Pen Up, Pen Down and XY movments used in their HPGL language, RTL images the entire file and outputs it as a large raster (pixel based) image file.

Register Transfer Language. A language used to describe operations (upon registers) which are caused by the execution of each instruction.

Resistor Transistor Logic. One of the earliest forms of semiconductor logic in which the basic logic element is a resistor-transistor network.
