Section 11. Glossary
principle behind thermocouple temperature measurement. It also causes
small, correctable voltage offsets in CR800 measurement circuitry.
Term: sequential mode
A CRBasic program execution mode wherein each statement is evaluated in
the order it is listed in the program. More information is available in section
Sequential Mode
(p. 152). See pipeline mode (p. 509).
Term: semaphore (measurement semaphore)
In sequential mode, when the main scan executes, it locks the resources
associated with measurements. In other words, it acquires the measurement
semaphore. This is at the scan level, so all subscans within the scan
(whether they make measurements or not), will lock out measurements from
slow sequences (including the auto self-calibration). Locking measurement
resources at the scan level gives non-interrupted measurement execution of
the main scan.
Term: send
Send button in datalogger support software
(p. 86). Sends a CRBasic program
or operating system to a CR800.
Term: serial
A loose term denoting output of a series of ASCII, HEX, or binary characters
or numbers in electronic form.
Term: Settings Editor
An editor for observing and adjusting CR800 settings. Settings Editor is a
feature of LoggerNet | Connect, PakBusGraph, and Device Configuration
Utility (DevConfig).
Term: Short Cut software
A CRBasic program wizard suitable for many CR800 applications.
Knowledge of CRBasic is not required to use Short Cut. It is available at no
charge at www.campbellsci.com.
Term: SI (Système Internationale)
The uniform international system of metric units. Specifies accepted units of
measure.
