The accuracy plots in Figure 7 are drawn for clarity and are not drawn to scale.

Figure 7. USB-1616FS transfer function with offset error

Gain error is a change in the slope of the transfer function from the ideal, and is typically expressed as a

percentage of full-scale. Figure 8 shows the USB-1616FS transfer function with gain error. Gain error is easily

converted to voltage by multiplying the full-scale input (±10 V) by the error.

The accuracy plots in Figure 8 are drawn for clarity and are not drawn to scale.

Figure 8. USB-1616FS transfer function with gain error

For example, the USB-1616FS exhibits a typical calibrated gain error of ±0.04% on all ranges. For the ±10 V

range, this would yield 10 V × ±0.0004 = ±4 mV. This means that at full scale, neglecting the effect of offset for

the moment, the measurement would be within 4 mV of the actual value. Note that gain error is expressed as a

ratio. Values near ±FS (±10 V) are more affected from an absolute voltage standpoint than are values near mid-

scale, which see little or no voltage error.

Combining these two error sources in Figure 9, we have a plot of the error band of the USB-1616FS at ±full

scale (±10 V). This plot is a graphical version of the typical accuracy specification of the product.
