Adcon Terminology

A comprehensive list with proper explanations can be found here.

emu3ap

Emulation software for addVANTAGE 3.45 to allow local and radio communication via a serial or telnet interface. This interface was used for all communication between the A730SD receiver. It was also implemented in the A840 Telemetry Gateway for those, who wanted to use it with addVANTAGE 3.45 rather than addVANTAGE Pro. It is no longer implemented in the new A850 Telemetry Gateway, is no longer supported or developed.

RTU

Remote Transmission Unit, such as A733, A723, A740. This term refers to both radio (UHF) and GSM/GPRS devices.

LoS

Line of Sight. When manufacturers of radios talk about transmission distances, they always refer to unobstructed Line of Sight transmissions. The distances that can actually be achieved vary greatly, depending on lots of circumstances, like the installation height of RTU and receiver, obstacles between the two, like trees, mountains and buildings, atmospheric conditions and others. So please don't take LoS transmission distance for granted for your specific installation!

DEVID

Device identifier: this is the serial number of an RTU
