Glossary
C
Context-sensitive help
Context-sensitive help (CSH) provides
information for the specific feature that
you are currently using.
corrected time
Upon export to CSV format, all data
records are automatically corrected for
receiver clock drift by the Fathom
software. Fathom uses the difference
between your receiver’s clock and the
UTC time calculated from your PC
clock at offload to calculate corrected
times for each record in the receiver
log. If the receiver clock was also
adjusted during deployment (for
example, using an external device to
periodically send time corrections to a
cabled receiver), then these
adjustments are also used in the
calculation of corrected times.
F
firmware
Software (programs or data) that has
been written onto read-only memory
(ROM). Firmware is a combination of
software and hardware.
G
glossary
An alphabetical list of technical terms
in some specialized field of knowledge;
usually published as an appendix to a
text on that field
H
HR
High Residence (HR) is a VEMCO
technology that allows for the reliable
detection of hundreds of animals in a
particular location at one time. Each
transmitter carries a unique ID and can
be programmed to transmit as quickly
as once per second while keeping
transmission collision rates to a
minimum. HR transmitters can also be
programmed with traditional PPM
coding, and are thus compatible with
both VEMCO HR2 receivers and 180
kHz VR2Ws.
Hydrophone
An underwater microphone that will
listen to, or pick up, acoustic signals. A
hydrophone converts acoustic energy
into electrical energy and is used in
passive underwater systems to listen.
I
initializing
Initializing (a receiver) - Process of
setting the receiver’s clock, clearing
the receiver’s memory, and starting a
new study.
M
Markdown
Markdown is a lightweight markup
language with plain text formatting
syntax. It is designed so that it can be
converted to HTML and many other
formats using a tool by the same name.
Markdown is often used to format
readme files, for writing messages in
online discussion forums, and to create
rich text using a plain text editor.
