Absolute accuracy at full scale on the analog input channels is determined using the
following assumptions:
■ TempChangeFromLastExternalCal = 10 °C
■ TempChangeFromLastInternalCal = 1 °C
■ number_of_readings = 100
■ CoverageFactor = 3 σ
For example, on the 10 V range, the absolute accuracy at full scale is as follows:
