Measured parameters
The measuring range for a parameter is the range within which the analyzer is
physically capable of measuring. The measuring range corresponds to the "range of
indication" as defined in the "International vocabulary of basic and general terms
in metrology" (VIM).
The test range for a parameter is the range within which accuracy and precision of
a measured parameter has been specified and intended to lie within specified
limits. The test range corresponds to the "measuring range" as defined in the
"International vocabulary of basic and general terms in metrology" (VIM).
The following measured parameters are available, independent of analyzer
configuration.
