(1) Characteristic. For example, specifying parameters means defining
the characteristics of something. In general, parameters are used to
customize a program. For example, file names, page lengths, and font
specifications could all be considered parameters. (2) In programming,
the term parameter is synonymous with argument, a value that is
passed to a routine.
A technique for testing transmitting data. Typically, a binary digit is
added to the data to make the sum of all the digits of the binary data
either always even (even parity) or always odd (odd parity).
Acronym PPM.
Analog Output to a host that is powered by an outside source.
Portable Collection and Calibration Unit.
Windows version of PCCU communications software to process,
archive and collect data from the Totalflow equipment. Generally run
from a laptop.
The retention time the element takes to exit the column. This is used in
calculating the amount of each component in the sample or Mole %.
A saturated hydrocarbon (Alkane) with five carbon atoms in it's
molecule (C5H12). A liquid under normal conditions.
See Normal Pentane.
A hydrocarbon mixture consisting mostly of normal pentane and
heavier components.
The input/output and data storage devices attached to a computer such
as disk drives, printers, keyboards, displays, data acquisition systems,
etc.
Refers to data that remains available after a Warm Start.
A flexible material used for LevelMaster sensors.
Process Gas Chromatograph
A time based relationship between a periodic function and a reference.
In electricity, it is expressed in angular degrees to describe the voltage
or current relationship of two alternating waveforms.
Hydrocarbon derivative containing an [OH] group bound to an aromatic
ring.
A change in which a substance changes from one physical state to
another but no substances with different composition are formed.
Example Gas to Liquid - Solid.
Proportional, Integral, Derivative. A three mode control action where the
controller has time proportioning, integral (auto reset) and derivative
rate action.
A ceramic material that has piezoelectric properties similar to those of
some natural crystals.
Liquid hydrocarbons that have condensed from gas to liquid as a result
of changes in pressure and temperature as gas flows in a pipeline.
Pipeline condensate only remains as a liquid under high-pressure
conditions and would vaporize at atmospheric pressure.
