| Abstract: | An optimal (minimum-error) instruments calibration technique based on the method of least squares and on correction with comparable argument and function errors is described. Expressions are derived for calculating linear regression coefficients and calibration errors. The process of calibration when the instrument signals are nonlinear functions of the measured parameter and when the measurement error is different at different points of the measurement range is discussed. Calibration of an instrument operating in an automatic control system for maximum factory benefit is cited as an example.Translated from Izmeritel'naya Tekhnika, No. 10, pp. 26–28, October, 1993. |
