Script
An uncompiled text file (such as keystrokes for a macro) that a program interprets in
order to perform certain functions. Typically, the end user can easily create or edit
scripts to customize the software.
Soft Points
A type of ROC point with generic parameters that can be configured to hold data as
desired by the user.
SP
Setpoint, or Static Pressure.
SPI
Slow Pulse Input.
SPK
Speaker.
SRAM
Static Random Access Memory. Stores data as long as power is applied; typically
backed up by a lithium battery or supercapacitor.
SRBX
Spontaneous Report-By-Exception. SRBX always refers to Spontaneous RBX in which
the ROC contacts the host to report an alarm condition.
SVA
Signal Value Analog. Stored in the Results Register, it is the analog value that is
passed between functions in an FST.
SVD
Signal Value Discrete. Stored in the Compare Flag, it is the discrete value that is
passed down the sequence of functions in an FST.
System
Variables
Configured parameters that describe the ROC; set using ROCLINK software.
T
T/C
Thermocouple Input.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol.
TDI
Time Duration Input.
TDO
Time Duration Output.
Tf
Flowing temperature.
TLP
Type (of point), Logical (or point) number, and Parameter number.
TX or TXD
Transmitted Data communications signal.
Turbine meter
A device used to measure flow rate and other parameters.
U
Upload
Send data, a file, or a program from the ROC to a PC or other host.
USB
Universal Serial Bus, a serial bus standard used to connect devices.
V-Z
V
Volts.
