stop bit
The end of the data bits. The stop bit can be 1, 1.5, or 2.
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 communication, this coordin-
ation is accomplished by synchronizing the transmitting and receiving devices to a com-
mon 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.
