V
VAC
Volts alternating current.
variable
A packet of memory given an alphanumeric name.
VDC
Volts direct current.
VisualWeather
Data logger support software specialized for weather and agricultural applications. The
software allows you to initialize the setup, interrogate the station, display data, and generate
reports from one or more weather stations.
volt meter
An inexpensive and readily available device useful in troubleshooting data acquisition
system faults.
voltage divider
A circuit of resistors that ratiometrically divides voltage. For example, a simple two-resistor
voltage divider can be used to divide a voltage in half. So, when fed through the voltage
divider, 1 mV becomes 500 µV, 10 mV becomes 5 mV, and so forth. Resistive-bridge circuits
are voltage dividers.
volts
SI unit for electrical potential.
