Ping
A software utility that attempts to contact another specific device in a
network.
Poisson Ratio
A ratio used in strain measurements equal to transverse strain divided
by extension strain. v = ‐(ε
trans
/ ε
axial
).
precision
A measure of the repeatability of a measurement. Also see the appendix
Accuracy, Precision, and Resolution
(p. 473).
PreserveVariables
PreserveVariables instruction protects Public variables from being
erased when a program is recompiled.
print device
Any device capable of receiving output over pin 6 (the PE line) in a
receive‐only mode. Printers, "dumb" terminals, and computers in a
terminal mode fall in this category.
print peripheral
See print device (p. 464).
processing instructions
These instructions allow the user to further process input data values
and return the result to a variable where it can be accessed for output
processing. Arithmetic and transcendental functions are included in
these instructions.
program control instructions
Used to modify the execution sequence of instructions contained in
program tables; also used to set or clear flags.
Public
A CRBasic command for declaring and dimensioning variables. Variables
declared with Public can be monitored during datalogger operation.
