modem/terminal
Any device which:
o
has the ability to raise the CR800 ring line or be used with an optically
isolated interface (see the appendix
CS I/O Serial Interfaces
(p. 545)
) to
raise the ring line and put the CR800 in the telecommunications
command state.

data ‐ acquisition system faults.
multipler
a term, often a parameter in a CRBasic measurement instruction, to
designate the slope, scaling factor, or gain in a linear function. For
example, when converting °C to °F, the equation is °F = °C*1.8 + 32. The
factor 1.8 is the multiplier.
mV
The SI abbreviation for milliVolts.
NAN
Not a number. A data word indicating a measurement or processing
error. Voltage over ‐ range, SDI ‐ 12 sensor error, and undefined
mathematical results can produce NAN.
