In binary notation, either of the characters 0 or 1. 3. A unit of information equal to one binary decision or the designation of one of two possible and equally likely states of anything used to store or convey information.
C-weighted sound level (dBC) snv. Sound pressure level (in decibels) measured using a sound level meter with a C-weighting network. It is generally used to limit the low and high frequency response of the instrument so that the instrument will not respond to signals outside the human hearing frequency range at high sound levels. See ANSI S1.4 for definition of C-weighting filters.
Cancel uci. A capability that regenerates or re-initializes the current display without processing or retaining any changes made by the user. Cancel usually means omitting only the action of the last command.

Caution signal gen. A signal which alerts the operator to an impending dangerous condition requiring attention, but not necessarily immediate action. (See "Master caution [warning] signal").

Chemical warfare agent gen. A chemical agent in a solid, liquid, or gas which produces lethal or damaging effects on humans, animals, plants, or materials, or negatively affects their performance.
Chromaticity coordinates gen. A three coordinate system for specifying chromaticity. The chromaticity coordinates can be interpreted as the fraction of the red primary, the fraction of the green primary and the fraction of the blue primary needed in a mixture of the primaries that
matches the given color. (See CIE 1931 and CIE 1976 in CIE Pub 15.2.)
