Measurement Accuracy Example
The following example illustrates the effect percent-of-reading and offset have on
measurement accuracy. The effect of offset is usually negligible on large signals:
Example:
• Sensor-signal voltage: ≈2500 mV
• CRBasic measurement instruction: VoltDiff()
• Programmed input-voltage range (Range): mV2500 (±2500 mV)
• Input measurement reversal (RevDiff): True
• CR800 circuitry temperature: 10 °C
Accuracy of the measurement is calculated as follows:
accuracy = percent-of-reading + offset
