datalogger support software
LoggerNet, PC400, and PC200W - these Campbell Scientific software applications
includes at least the following functions: datalogger communications, downloading pro-
grams, clock setting, and retrieval of measurement data.
DC
Direct current.
DCE
Data Communication Equipment. While the term has much wider meaning, in the limited
context of practical use with the datalogger, it denotes the pin configuration, gender,
and function of an RS-232 port. The RS-232 port on the datalogger is DCE. Interfacing a
DCE device to a DCE device requires a null-modem cable.
desiccant
A hygroscopic material that absorbs water vapor from the surrounding air. When placed
in a sealed enclosure, such as a datalogger enclosure, it prevents condensation.
Device Configuration Utility
Configuration tool used to set up dataloggers and peripherals, and to configure PakBus
settings before those devices are deployed in the field and/or added to networks.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A TCP/IP application protocol.
differential
Dim
A sensor or measurement terminal wherein the analogue voltage signal is carried on
two wires. The phenomenon measured is proportional to the difference in voltage
between the two wires.
A CRBasic command for declaring and dimensioning variables. Variables declared with
Dim remain hidden during datalogger operations.
