Vstupy

Vstupy is a Czech and Slovak term meaning inputs or entries. It is the plural of vstup, used to describe things that enter a system, such as data, signals, or admissions. The word derives from vstup (entry) and the verb vstoupit (to enter). In both languages the term is common in technical documentation and everyday language.

In technology, vstupy denote data or signals that enter a device or program. They can be data channels, input ports, or user-provided data. Common phrases include analogové vstupy, digitální vstupy, vstupní porty, and uživatelské vstupy. In control and computer engineering, vstupy are contrasted with výstupy (outputs) to describe the flow of information.

In data processing and statistics, vstupy refer to raw data used for analysis, such as vstupní soubory or datové vstupy. They are distinguished from after-processing results, outputs.

In everyday use, the term can also refer to entries in a form or list, or to admissions to an event, especially in contexts like tickets or access control. The exact sense depends on domain and language variant; in Slovak, the meaning is broadly similar.
