Section 11. Glossary electronic sensor, b) the transfer of data from variable memory to final-data memory, or c) the transfer of electric power from the CR6 or a peripheral to another device. Term. output array A string of data values output to final-data memory. Output occurs when the data table output trigger is true. Term. data-output interval Same as output interval. The interval between each write of a record (line of data) to a data table. Term. data-output-processing instructions CRBasic instructions that process data values for eventual output to final-data memory. Examples of output-processing instructions include Totalize(), Maximize(), Minimize(), and Average(). The data sources for these instructions are values or strings in variable memory. The results of intermediate calculations are stored in output-processing memory to await the output trigger. The ultimate destination of data generated by outputprocessing instructions is usually final-data memory, but it may be diverted to variable memory by the CRBasic program for further processing. The transfer of processed summaries to final-data memory takes place when the Trigger argument in the DataTable() instruction is set to True. Term. data-output-processing memory That portion of SRAM dedicated to holding intermediate values generated by output-processing instructions. Output-processing memory cannot be monitored. Term. PakBus A proprietary telecommunications protocol similar in concept to internet protocol (IP). It has been developed by Campbell Scientific to facilitate communications between Campbell Scientific instrumentation. Term. PakBus Graph software Shows the relationship of various nodes in a PakBus network, and allows for adjustment of many settings in each node. A PakBus node is typically a datalogger, a PC, or a telecommunication device. Term. parameter Argument or parameter? These terms are frequently interchanged, but have a useful distinction. A parameter is part of a procedure (or command) definition; an argument is part of a procedure call (or command execution). An argument is place in a parameter. For example, in the CRBasic command Battery(dest), dest is a parameter and so defines what is to be put in its place. If a variable named BattV is meant to hold the result of the battery measurement made by Battery(), BattV is the argument placed in dest. In the following statement, 503
