Section 11. Glossary
Term. garbage
The refuse of the data communication world. When data are sent or received
incorrectly (there are numerous reasons why this happens), a string of invalid,
meaningless characters (garbage) often results. Two common causes are: 1) a
baud-rate mismatch and 2) synchronous data being sent to an asynchronous
device and vice versa.
Term. global variable
A variable available for use throughout a CRBasic program. The term is
usually used in connection with subroutines, differentiating global variables
(those declared using
Public
or
Dim
) from local variables, which are
declared in the
Sub()
and
Function()
instructions.
Term. ground
Being or related to an electrical potential of 0 volts.
Term. half-duplex
A serial communication protocol. Bi-directional, but not simultaneous,
communications. SDI-12 is a half-duplex protocol.
Reading list:
simplex
(p. 528),
duplex
(p. 248),
half-duplex
(p. 517),
and
full-duplex
(p. 516).
Term. handshake, handshaking
The exchange of predetermined information between two devices to assure
each that it is connected to the other. When not used as a clock line, the
CLK/HS (pin 7) line in the datalogger
CS I/O
port is primarily used to detect
the presence or absence of peripherals.
Term. hello exchange
The process of verifying a node as a neighbor. See section
PakBus —
