Harmonic distortion	Continuous distortion of the normal sine wave, occurring at frequencies between 60 Hz and 3 kHz.
Heuristic	Describes an approach based on common sense rules and trial and error, rather than on comprehensive theory.
High-level language	A problem-oriented programming language in which each instruction may be equivalent to several machine-code instructions.
HMI	Human-machine interface
Host	1) A central controlling computer in a network system. 2) Any device on a network system that provides a controlling function to another device on the network. 3) Any intelligent device for which another device is providing a communication interface to a network.
