paper Measurement Error Analysis available at www.campbellsci.com/app-notes

Accuracy describes the difference between a measurement and the true value.
Many factors affect accuracy. This section discusses the affect percent-or-
reading, offset, and resolution have on the accuracy of the measurement of an
analog-voltage sensor signal. Accuracy is defined as follows:
accuracy = percent-of-reading + offset
where percents-of-reading are tabulated in the table Analog-Voltage Measurement
Accuracy
(p. 313), and offsets are tabulated in the table Analog-Voltage
Measurement Offsets
(p. 313).
Note Error discussed in this section and error-related specifications of the
CR1000 do not include error introduced by the sensor or by the transmission of
the sensor signal to the CR1000.
