Appendix A. Glossary<br />

modem/terminal<br />

Any device which:<br />

• has the ability to raise the <strong>CR200</strong>(X) ring line and put the <strong>CR200</strong>(X) in<br />

the Telecommunications Command State<br />

• has an asynchronous serial communication port which can be<br />

configured to communicate with the <strong>CR200</strong>(X).<br />

multi-meter<br />

An inexpensive and readily available device useful in troubleshooting data<br />

acquisition system faults.<br />

mV<br />

The SI abbreviation for milliVolts.<br />

NAN<br />

Not a number. A data word indicating a measurement or processing error.<br />

Voltage over range, SDI-12 sensor error, and undefined mathematical<br />

results can produce NAN.<br />

Neighbor Device<br />

Devices in a PakBus® network that can communicate directly with an<br />

individual device without being routed through an intermediate device. See<br />

PakBus (Appendix p. 7).<br />

NIST<br />

National Institute of Standards and Technology<br />

Node<br />

Part of the description of a datalogger network when using LoggerNet.<br />

Each node represents a device that the communications server will dial<br />

through or communicate with individually. Nodes are organized as a<br />

hierarchy with all nodes accessed by the same device (parent node) entered<br />

as child nodes. A node can be both a parent and a child.<br />

Null-modem<br />

A device, usually a multi-conductor cable, which converts an RS-232 port<br />

from DCE to DTE or from DTE to DCE.<br />

Ohm<br />

The unit of resistance. Symbol is the Greek letter Omega (Ω). 1.0 Ω equals<br />

the ratio of 1.0 Volt divided by 1.0 Amp.<br />
