Note Accuracies listed are valid for up to two years from the device external calibration.

AI Absolute Accuracy Equation

AbsoluteAccuracy = Reading · (GainError) + Range · (OffsetError) + NoiseUncertainty

  • GainError = ResidualGainError + GainTempco · (TempChangeFromLastInternalCal) + ReferenceTempco · (TempChangeFromLastExternalCal)
  • OffsetError = ResidualOffsetError + OffsetTempco · (TempChangeFromLastInternalCal) + INLError
  • NoiseUncertainty =
    RandomNoise310,000
    for a coverage factor of 3 σ and averaging 10,000 points.

AI Absolute Accuracy Example

Absolute accuracy at full scale on the analog input channels is determined using the following assumptions:

  • TempChangeFromLastExternalCal = 10 °C
  • TempChangeFromLastInternalCal = 1 °C
  • number_of_readings = 10,000
  • Coveragefactor = 3 σ

For example, on the 10 V range, the absolute accuracy at full scale is as follows:

  • GainError = 48 ppm + 13 ppm · 1 + 1 ppm · 10 = 71 ppm
  • OffsetError = 13 ppm + 21 ppm · 1 + 60 ppm = 94 ppm
  • NoiseUncertainty =
    315μV310,000
    = 9.4 µV
  • AbsoluteAccuracy = 10 V · (GainError) + 10 V · (OffsetError) + NoiseUncertainty = 1, 660 µV
