9. Glossary
DevConfig — Device Configuration Utility. Use version 2.04 or later with
dynamic vibrating-wire data-acquisition systems. When DevConfig is
installed, USB drivers for CDM-VW300 series analyzers and the SC-CPI
interface are automatically sent to the PC running Windows
® XP, Windows ®
Vista, Windows ® 7, or Windows ® 8 operating system.
DVWTool — Dynamic Vibrating-Wire Tool software. It was specifically
written to support CDM-VW300 series analyzers. DVWTool enables a PC to
initiate and request measurements from the CDM-VW300 without use of a
datalogger. When DVWTool is installed, USB drivers for CDM-VW300 series
analyzers and the SC-CPI interface are automatically sent to the PC. running
Windows
® XP, Windows ® Vista, Windows ® 7, or Windows ® 8 operating system
Datalogger support software — for the purposes of Campbell Scientific
dynamic vibrating-wire data-acquisition systems, this includes RTDAQ,
LoggerNet, and PC400. RTDAQ is preferred.
AWG — gage. Units used when expressing the thickness of wire. The higher
the AWG value, the thinner the wire. 20 AWG to 24 AWG wire is often used
in all connections except power and earth ground. Power connections often
use 16 AWG to 18 AWG wire. Earth ground connections usually use 14 AWG
or larger diameter.
NAN — not a number. An indication that an invalid measurement has been
made.
