active threshold
An active threshold is a trigger point or reporting threshold for an analog input.
a/d converter
An analog to digital converter converts varying sinusoidal signals from instruments into binary code for a
computer.
address mode
The Sure Cross
®
wireless devices may use one of two types of addressing modes: rotary dial
addressing or extended addressing. In
rotary dial
address mode, the left rotary dial establishes the
network ID (NID) and the right rotary dial sets the device address.
Extended
address mode uses a
security code to "bind" Nodes to a specific Gateway. Bound Nodes can only send and receive
information from the Gateway they are bound to.
antenna
Antennas transmit radio signals by converting radio frequency electrical currents into electromagnetic
waves. Antennas receive the signals by converting the electromagnetic waves back into radio frequency
electrical currents.
attenuation
Attenuation is the radio signal loss occurring as signals travel through the medium. Radio signal
attenuation may also be referred to as free space loss. The higher the frequency, the faster the signal
strength decreases. For example, 2.4 GHz signals attenuate faster than 900 MHz signals.
baseline filter
(M-GAGE)
Under normal conditions, the ambient magnetic field fluctuates. When the magnetic field readings drift
below a threshold setting, the baseline or drift filter uses an algorithm to slowly match the radio device’s
baseline to the ambient magnetic field.
binding (DX80
star networks)
Binding Nodes to a Gateway ensures the Nodes only exchange data with the Gateway they are bound
to. After a Gateway enters binding mode, the Gateway automatically generates and transmits a unique
extended addressing (XADR), or binding, code to all Nodes within range that are also in binding mode.
The extended addressing (binding) code defines the network, and all radios within a network must use
the same code.
After binding your Nodes to the Gateway, make note of the binding code displayed under the
*DVCFG
>
XADR
menu on the Gateway's LCD. Knowing the binding code prevents having to re-bind all Nodes if
the Gateway is ever replaced.
binding
(MultiHop
networks)
Binding MultiHop radios ensures all MultiHop radios within a network communicate only with other
radios within the same network. The MultiHop radio master automatically generates a unique binding
code when the radio master enters binding mode. This code is then transmitted to all radios within range
that are also in binding mode. After a repeater/slave is bound, the repeater/slave radio accepts data only
