Burden Voltage:
Burden voltage is a voltage drop across the input ter-
minals of a current measuring device, caused by internal shunt resist-
ance. Burden voltage contributes to the measurement error, and should
be as low as practical.
Temperature Coefficient:
Temperature Coefficient is a factor used to
calculate the change in indication or output of an instrument with
changes in temperature. Un-compensated changes in temperature con-
tribute uncertainty by an amount determined by the temperature coeffi-
cient of the instrument.
Analog Bar Graph:
The analog bar graph provides a visual indication
of measurements similar to a traditional analog meter’s needle. It is
excellent in detecting faulty contacts, identifying potentiometer’s clicks
and indicating signal spikes during adjustments.
