string
A datum or variable consisting of alphanumeric characters.
support software
Campbell Scientific software that includes at least the following functions: data logger
communications, downloading programs, clock setting, and retrieval of measurement data.
synchronous
The transmission of data between a transmitting and a receiving device occurs as a series of
zeros and ones. For the data to be "read" correctly, the receiving device must begin reading
at the proper point in the series. In synchronous communications, this coordination is
accomplished by synchronizing the transmitting and receiving devices to a common clock
signal (see also asynchronous).
system time
When time functions are run outside the Scan() / NextScan construct, the time registered by
the instruction will be based on the system clock, which has a 10 ms resolution.
T
table
See data table.
task
Grouping of CRBasic program instructions automatically by the data logger compiler. Tasks
include measurement, SDM or digital, and processing. Tasks are prioritized when the
CRBasic program runs in pipeline mode. Also, a user-customized function defined through
LoggerNet Task Master.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol.
