Nominal Range Positive Full Scale (V) | Nominal Range Negative Full Scale (V) | Residual Gain Error (ppm of Reading) | Residual Offset Error (ppm of Range) | Offset Tempco (ppm of Range/°C) | Random Noise, σ (μVrms) | Absolute Accuracy at Full Scale (μV) | Sensitivity (μV) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
10 | -10 | 75 | 20 | 34 | 229 | 2,690 | 91.6 |
5 | -5 | 85 | 20 | 36 | 118 | 1,410 | 47.2 |
1 | -1 | 95 | 25 | 49 | 26 | 310 | 10.4 |
0.2 | -0.2 | 135 | 40 | 116 | 12 | 88 | 4.8 |

AI Absolute Accuracy Equation
AbsoluteAccuracy = Reading · (GainError) + Range · (OffsetError) + NoiseUncertainty
- GainError = ResidualAIGainError + GainTempco · (TempChangeFromLastInternalCal) + ReferenceTempco · (TempChangeFromLastExternalCal)
- OffsetError = ResidualAIOffsetError + OffsetTempco · (TempChangeFromLastInternalCal) + INLError
-
NoiseUncertainty = for a coverage factor of 3 σ and averaging 100 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 = 100
- CoverageFactor = 3 σ
For example, on the 10 V range, the absolute accuracy at full scale is as follows:
- GainError = 75 ppm + 7.3 ppm · 1 + 5 ppm · 10 = 132 ppm
- OffsetError = 20 ppm + 34 ppm · 1 + 76 ppm = 130 ppm
- NoiseUncertainty = = 68.7 µV
- AbsoluteAccuracy = 10 V · (GainError) + 10 V · (OffsetError) + NoiseUncertainty = 2,690 µV
