TB8100 Service Kit User’s Manual Glossary 227
channel table
The channel table is the base station’s database of channel
configurations. To view it, select Configure > Base Station >
Channel Table.
CODEC
An IC which combines analog-to-digital conversion (coding)
and digital-to-analog conversion (decoding).
configuration file
A configuration file consists of all the configuration settings
needed for a base station, stored as a file in the configurations
folder. Configuration files have the extension *.t8c.
connection
A connection is a named group of settings that the Service Kit
uses when establishing communications with a base station.
control bus
The control bus is used for communications between modules in
a base station system. It is an I2C bus, a bi-directional two-wire
serial bus which is used to connect integrated circuits (ICs). I2C
is a multi-master bus, which means that multiple chips can be
connected to the same bus, and each one can act as a master by
initiating a data transfer.
control panel
The control panel is an area at the front of the base station with
buttons, LEDs and other controls that let you interact with the
base station.
CTCSS
CTCSS (continuous tone controlled squelch system), also
known as PL (private line) is a type of signalling that uses
subaudible tones to segregate groups of users.
custom action
A custom action is a user-defined Task Manager action that
consists of more than one pre-defined action.
custom input
A custom input is a user-defined Task Manager input that
consists of a combination of pre-defined inputs.
CWID
CWID (Continuous Wave IDentification) is a method of
automatically identifying the base station using a Morse code.
Continuous wave means transmission of a signal with a single
frequency that is either on or off, as opposed to a modulated
carrier.
