ABSTRACT:

Many applications call for a means to take accurate analog measurements. Force, pressure, electrical current, lengths, positions and other analog values that are measured must be done so with a degree of accuracy. Factory and lab personnel use calibration procedures to ensure that equipment is reading accurately. If the readings are not as accurate as required, a calibration procedure should allow for the implementation of a correction factor. Personnel operating the equipment can perform their jobs more readily if the measurement system can easily be checked for accuracy and calibrated. Ideally, the process would be transparent to operators who do not need to understand the details of the operating system and only need to see and understand the measurement results reported by the equipment.
