8.1.2.4 Measurement Accuracy
CR800 analog-measurement error is calculated as
Error=GainError(%)+OffsetError
Gain error is expressed as ±% of reading and is a function of CR800 temperature.
Between 0°C and 40°C, gain error is ±0.06% of input voltage. This gain error
assumes factory recalibration every two years.
Offset error depends on measurement type and input range. For differential
measurements with input reversal,
OffsetError=1.5•BasicResolution+1.0µV
where

).
Figure Voltage Measurement Accuracy (0° to 40°C)
(p. 275) illustrates that as
magnitude of input voltage decreases, measurement error decreases.
Note The accuracy specification includes only the CR800 contribution to
measurement error. It does not include the error of sensors.
For example, assume the following (see CR800 Specifications ):
• Input Voltage: 2500 mV
• Programmed Input Voltage Range: ±2500 mV (mV2500)
• Programmed Measurement Instruction: VoltDiff()
• Input Measurement Reversal: True
• CR800 Temperature: Between 0°C and 40°C
Accuracy of the measurement is calculated as follows:
Error=GainError+OffsetError,
