A packet of CR3000 memory given an alphanumeric name, which holds
a potentially changing number or string.
Vac
Volts alternating current. Also VAC. Mains or grid power is high‐level
Vac, usually 110 Vac or 220 Vac at a fixed frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
High‐level Vac is used as a primary power source for Campbell Scientific
power supplies. Do not connect high‐level Vac directly to the CR3000.
The CR3000 measures varying frequencies of low‐level Vac in the range
of ±20 Vac.
Vdc
Volts direct current. Also VDC. The CR3000 operates with a nominal 12‐
Vdc power supply. It can supply nominal 12 Vdc, regulated 5 Vdc, and
variable excitation in the ±2.5 Vdc range. It measures analog voltage in
the ±5.0‐Vdc range and pulse voltage in the ±20‐Vdc range.
Volt meter
An inexpensive and readily available device useful in troubleshooting
data acquisition system faults.
Volts
SI unit for electrical potential.
