A-5
minimum use specifications
Specifications computed to satisfy the calibration requirements of measurement or source
device (UUT). Usually determined by a specified test uncertainty ratio between the
absolute uncertainties of the UUT and its required calibration equipment. Also see Test
Uncertainty Ratio.
noise
An undesirable signal that is superimposed on a desired or expected signal. See "normal
mode noise" and "common mode noise".
noise floor
For an ac-dc transfer standard, the transfer uncertainty due to noise factors.
nonvolatile memory
An electronic memory that retains its contents when power is turned off.
normal mode noise
An undesired signal that appears between the terminals of a device.
offset error
Same as zero error. The reading shown on a meter when an input value of zero is applied
is its offset or zero error.
parameters
Independent variables in a measurement process such as temperature,humidity, test lead
resistance, etc.
precision
The degree of agreement among independent measurements of a quantity under specified
conditions. The precision of a measurement process is its coherence or repeatability. Note
that while precision is necessary for accuracy, it does not imply it.
predictability
A measure of what is known of the time-behavior of a device. A documented drift rate
with understood characteristics (e.g., linear, exponential) can be highly predictable.
primary standard
A standard defined and maintained by some authority and used to calibrate
all other secondary standards.
process metrology
Tracking the accuracy drift of calibration and other equipment by applying statistical
analysis to correction factors obtained during calibration.
random error
Any error which varies in an unpredictable manner in absolute value and in sign when
measurements of the same value of a quantity are made under effectively identical
conditions.
range
Stated upper limits of measurement or source values for which given uncertainty
specifications apply. Also see "overrange" and "scale".
reference standard
The highest-echelon standard in a laboratory; the standard that is used to maintain
working standards that are used in routine calibration and comparison procedures.
relative uncertainty
Uncertainty specifications that are relative to a reference value, and not traceable to
national standards. Also see "absolute uncertainty".
