Random Noise ⋅ 3
NoiseUncertainty = for a coverage factor of 3 σ and averaging
100 points.
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 of the Filter On accuracy table, the absolute accuracy at full scale is as follows:
GainError = 40 ppm + 17 ppm · 1 + 1 ppm · 10 = 67 ppm
OffsetError = 8 ppm + 11 ppm · 1 + 10 ppm = 29 ppm
NoiseUncertainty = = 18 µV
AbsoluteAccuracy = 10 V · (GainError) + 10 V · (OffsetError) + NoiseUncertainty = 980 µV Analog Triggers
