Appendix A. Glossary of Terms

V

Variable Name – Edlog uses variable names in expressions. Variables are

another name for input location labels. For instance, in the equation TempF =

(TempC*1.8) + 32, TempC is an input location label and TempF is a new

location calculated from TempC. CRBasic dataloggers use variables for all

measurements, processing values, including variables to be used in Boolean

form as “high” or “low”.

W

Wiring Panel – The set of terminals and underlying circuits that enable

connections of sensors, control and power supply wiring to the datalogger

itself. Some dataloggers such as the CR23X have built-in wiring panels.

Others, such as the CR10X, have removable wiring panels.
Watchdog – An entry in the status table that shows the number of watchdog

errors that have occurred. The watchdog checks the processor state and resets

it if necessary. If an error occurs, the watchdog error counter is incremented.
