AI Absolute Accuracy Equation
AbsoluteAccuracy = Reading · (GainError) + Range · (OffsetError) + NoiseUncertainty
- GainError = ResidualGainError + GainTempco · (TempChangeFromLastInternalCal) + ReferenceTempco · (TempChangeFromLastExternalCal)
- OffsetError = ResidualOffsetError + OffsetTempco · (TempChangeFromLastInternalCal) + INLError
- NoiseUncertainty = 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 = = 9.4 µV
- AbsoluteAccuracy = 10 V · (GainError) + 10 V · (OffsetError) + NoiseUncertainty = 1, 660 µV
