| Sensitivity This is the value of the output signal differential divided by the corresponding mea-surand differential: AQ/AF in the case of piezoelectric sensors or AU/AF for strain gage sensors. FSO Full scale output or full range signal. This is the difference in the output signal between zero and the limit of the measuring range. Hysteresis Maximum difference, Hmax, between rising load characteristic and falling load characteristic. Calibration Calibration is the use of a defined method under specified conditions to determine the correlation between a known input variable and a measured output variable. The calibration standard is the reference value. For example, scales are calibrated by placing a defined and calibrated test weight (calibration standard) on them to check any deviation in the weight reading. |
