#82511 - Constant vs Percentage error Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Is the error a constant difference or is it a percentage of the result?Erik A "constant difference" (or "constant offset") means that the difference between the actual reading and the true value is constant for all values; A "percentage" means that the difference between the actual reading and the true value is a constant percentage (fraction) of the value - thus the difference betwee the true value and the actual reading will be greater for higher values. For example: True Reading with Reading with Value +1 offset error +10% error 1 2 1.1 2 3 2.2 3 4 3.3 5 6 5.5 8 9 8.8 10 11 11.0 12 13 13.2 15 16 16.5 |
