Instruction manual

Repeater − A radio (RF) site that relays packets
of information to a remote site. Used to extend
the range of radio transmissions. Any remote
datalogger site with radio can act as a repeater.
Retries − When a transaction or
communication between two devices or
programs fail. The transaction or
communication is usually repeated until it
succeeds. These “retries” occur based on user
entered parameters (in Net Description).
RF − Dealing with radio telemetry. Stands for
Radio Frequency.
RF232T − A base station radio and modem.
Contains radio, SC532, RF95T, and power
supply in an enclosure.
RF95T − Modem for use with radio (RF)
telemetry.
RTM − Real Time Monitor, Program to monitor
datalogger data in "real-time" with various
graphical displays and tables.
RTMS − See Real-Time Monitoring Software
SC12 cable − 9-pin cable (subminature D-type
connectors) used to connect dataloggers and
peripherals.
SC32A − A device for connecting a CR10T
datalogger to an RS-232 serial port.
SC532 − Interface device to connect an MD9
modem or RF95T modem to an RS-232 serial
port.
SC932 − Interface device for connecting RAD
modems to datalogger.
SerLine − Dealing with the serial port or serial
connection. Usually used in SWF messages.
SHADOW directory − DBSelect temporarily
stores the data it receives in subdirectories
under the SHADOW directory. The user should
access or place files in these directories.
DBSelect needs full rights to these directories.
Sibling Nodes − See Node, Child Node, and
Parent Node. Two or more nodes accessed by
the same parent node.
Signature − Number calculated to verify both
sequence and validity of bytes within a packet.
Station number − DlsMgr assigns and uses
station numbers for routing of packets.
NetAdmin allows the user to specify these
numbers but the defaults are usually adequate.
Status − Message relating to current network
activity.
SWF logs − Messages indicating Status,
Warnings, and Faults within the datalogger
network. May be filtered and logged to disk.
Table Definitions − List of data available from
a datalogger. Datalogger supplies this list on
request. Based on the datalogger
programming. Used by DlsMgr to form Data
Advise.
Terminal Mode − See Remote keyboard.
TimeStamp − Date and time information for
data or message.
Transaction − Exchange of data or information
between two devices or programs. For
example setting of the clock in a datalogger is a
transaction between DlsMgr and the datalogger.
Unacknowledged Named Pipe − See Named
Pipe. Exchange of data through named pipe
where sending program (DBSelect) sends data
regardless of whether receiving program (client)
is ready to receive (or even present).
View − NetAdmin function that can be accessed
and configured but runs even when not being
accessed.
Warning − Message relating to network activity
where a potential problem or error has been
identified. Usually occasional warnings are not
cause for alarm.
