Full Scale Range
The module does not apply amplifiers or attenuator to the analog signals to
“scale” signals to some “full scale” value. Rather the module relies on its
precision 24 bit A/D and further digital processing to accommodate
measurement requirements. The 1444 does not provide a “full scale range” in
the same manner as older instruments.
When considering resolution and accuracy, rather than providing values
referenced to a possible “full scale range”, the following reference values to a
“typical range or alarm limit”, which vary with the selected engineering units
and application.
Measurement Resolution
The 24 bit A/D has a theoretical resolution of 3 μV. However, for practical
purposes, an input signal of 0.5 mV peak-to-peak is considered more
representative of real world applications, and as a more realistic minimum
resolution. Based on this assessment the following table presents typical
resolutions, in Engineering Units, and as a percent of a typical range or alarm
limit for various measurement types.
