There are many variables such as the environment, accuracy requirements, and how the transducers are being used, but the short answer is by recalibrating your transducers every one-two years, you will have a much better idea of how your environment is impacting accuracy.

What’s the difference and why – and when – do I care? Let’s start by defining and differentiating the two terms. If you’ve ever picked up a bow, then this graphic will make sense: Precision relates to tightness of the grouping and speaks to how repeatable the measurement is. Accuracy is how close
We’ve all been there. A critical device won’t perform just before the boss is supposed to show up with his boss to see your new, magnificent accomplishment/development/process. And you can feel the panic rising in your throat. What do you do first? The key is to identify the actual problem and not work to fix
DC current measurement is always challenging and the “whacked” condition is more common than any of us care to admit. Whacked can mean a current reading when the unit is off or just a strange reading you can’t explain or correct for. If you measure widely varying DC current levels, or have recently experienced a
We get these (and many other) questions frequently, but its fairly straightforward – once you break it down. Both terms relate to maintaining Accuracy (link to Precision vs. Accuracy) of a device. You may recall one of the major errors (link to Part 1) is Linearity – the extent a measurement device deviates from the
