Campbell Scientific CR200/CR200X-series Dataloggers - Manual (Page 174)

Appendix A. Glossary
baud rate settings of two pieces of equipment must match each other. The
baud rate for CR200(X) communication should be set to 9600.
Beacon
A signal broadcasted to other devices in a PakBus® network to identify
"neighbor" devices. A beacon in a PakBus® network ensures that all
devices in the network are aware of other devices that are viable. If
configured to do so, a clock set command may be transmitted with the
beacon. This function can be used to synchronize the clocks of devices
within the PakBus® network. See also PakBus (Appendix p. 7) and
Neighbor Device (Appendix p. 6).
binary
Describes data represented by a series of zeros and ones. Also describes the
state of a switch, either being on or off.
code
A CRBASIC program, or a portion of a program.
compile
The software process of converting a human readable program to binary
machine code. CR200(X) programs are compiled by the CRBASIC Editor.
constant
A packet of CR200(X) memory given an alpha-numeric name and assigned
a fixed number.
control I/O
Terminals C1 - C2 or processes utilizing these terminals.
CVI
Communications Verification Interval. The interval at which a PakBus®
device verifies the accessibility of neighbors in its neighbor list. If a
neighbor does not communicate for a period of time equal to 2.5 x the CVI,
the device will send up to 4 Hellos. If no response is received, the neighbor
is removed from the neighbor list.
CPU
Central processing unit. The brains of the CR200(X).
