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 addVANTAGE and the A730SD receiver. It was also implemented into 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, and 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, such as the installation height of the RTU and the receiver, obstacles between the two (trees, mountains, power lines, 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
GUI: Graphical User Interface
CLI: Command Line Interface
SST: Sensor Supply Time, this is the time a sensor requires to provide a stable output. For most Adcon sensors this is typically 2 seconds or less.
SLOT: Averaging Time of the RTU
POLL: Request for RTU data
