Glossary
Application
Measurement Application of the User.
In the field of -ferrite content measurement, an Application (memory) re-
fers to a memory that stores the coefficients that are determined during
the normalization and corrective calibration for each measurement ap-
plication as well as the single readings measured in this Application. In
addition, the application-specific settings are stored in the applications.
Up to 100 different Applications can be created in the FERITSCOPE

FMP30.
Attributive Features Features
B (Bit) Bit (Binary Digit)
Base
Component of the calibration standard set. The Base is used for normal-
ization and corrective calibration of the FERITSCOPE

FMP30.
Baud
Unit of the speed for transferring information (data). 1 baud corre-
sponds to a data transfer rate of 1 bit per second.
Baud Rate
Data transfer rate. Used mainly in connection with terminal programs for
data transfer. Since data are transferred via a serial port, the transfer
rate is calculated in bits per second.
Bd (Baud) Baud
Bidirectional data exchange (data transfer)
Data can be transmitted and received by both participants (for example,
from the instrument to the PC and from the PC to the instrument).
Bit (Binary Digit)
Binary number. 1 bit is the smallest unit in the binary number system.
The value of a bit is either 0 or 1. Being the smallest unit of information
in a computer, a bit forms the basis of every computer system. 8 bits are
combined to a byte, or several bytes to a word.
Block
Several measurements are combined into a block. A closed block is in-
dicated by a k on the display. A block can be closed only by pressing
the BLOCK-RES or FINAL-RES key followed by ENTER (or a measure-
ment).
