Instrument and data systems Flashcards
Full output scale
Algebraic difference between the electrical output signals measured with maximum input stimulus and the lowest input stimulus is applied.
Threshold
Minimum phenomenon level that can be sensed
Span
Dynamic range of stimuli that may be converted by a sensor
accuracy
represents how close the measurement is to the real value
range
Lowest to highest values of INPUT stimulus
Linearity
Difference level from theoretical and real lines
Sensitivity
The smallest change in the measured variable to which the instruments respond
resolution
ability of a sensor to detect the smallest change in the measurement
Precision
How close the measured values are to each other
Accuracy
How close the measured value is to the true value
Reproducibility
Obtaining consistent computational results using the same input data, computational steps, methods, code, and conditions of analysis.
