Analytical correction
- remove undesirable effects & errors from output
according to knowledge of undesirable inputs & system responses
3. Transmission
used to transfer signals or other information
from one component to another
Static response
1. Theoretically determined by physical law
e.g. liquid manometer for gas pressure
difference measurement, Fig. (a)
Hydrostatic law:
2. More commonly determined by static calibration, e.g. variable-reluctance pressure transducer, Fig. (b)
calibrated with liquid manometer:
Static calibration:
- performed separated for each desired input
- determine input-output relationship (calibration curve) with standard system
- accuracy depends on that of instruments used as standard
Effects of undesirable inputs:
1. Zero drift parallel shift of primary calibration curve
2. Sensitivity drift a change in the slope of the primary calibration curve
Output
non-linear
Scale readability
linear
Input
span
Full-scale output - range of output values measured from minimum to maximum input values
Dynamic range - ratio of largest to smallest values of input
Non-linearity - maximum deviation of actual response from
straight line determined by least-square fit of
calibration measurements
Compute percentage of repeat values that are not more than x i , i.e.
Compute mean value and variance as
