node is typically a Campbell Scientific datalogger, a PC, or a
telecommunication device. See section
Datalogger Support Software
(p. 450).
Term. parameter
Parameter
(p. 523):
part of a procedure (or command) definition.
Argument
(p. 507):
part of a procedure call (or command execution). An
argument is placed in a parameter. For example, in the CRBasic command
Battery(
dest
)
,
dest
is a parameter that defines what argument is to be put in
its place in a CRBasic program. If a variable named
BattV
is to hold the
result of the battery measurement made by
Battery()
,
BattV
is the argument
placed in
dest
. In the statement
Battery(BattV)
BattV
is the argument.
Term. period average
A measurement technique using a high-frequency digital clock to measure
time differences between signal transitions. Sensors commonly measured
with period average include water-content reflectometers.
Term. peripheral
Any device designed for use with the CR1000 (or another Campbell
Scientific datalogger). A peripheral requires the CR1000 to operate.
Peripherals include
measurement, control
(p. 85),
and
data-retrieval and
telecommunication
(p. 651)
modules.
Term. ping
A software utility that attempts to contact another device in a network. See
section
PakBus — Overview
(p. 88)
and sections
Ping (PakBus)
(p. 398)
and
Ping
(IP)
(p. 295).
Term. ping
A CRBasic program execution mode wherein instructions are evaluated in
groups of like instructions, with a set group prioritization. More information
is available in section
Pipeline Mode
(p. 152).
See
Term. sequential mode
(p.
Term. Poisson ratio
A ratio used in strain measurements. Equal to transverse strain divided by
extension strain as follows:
v = -(ε
trans
/ ε
axial
).
Term. precision
A measure of the repeatability of a measurement. Also see the appendix
Accuracy, Precision, and Resolution
(p. 533).
