EXPLANATIONS OF TERMS
■ ACCURACY
This transmitter’s accuracy is theoretically defined as the addition of A/D and D/A conversion errors:

  Accuracy = A/D Conversion Error + D/A Conversion Error

The A/D conversion error means that measured as HART signal which is A/D converted from the analog input signal.
The D/A conversion error of this transmitter is relatively very small so that it does not really affect the unit’s overall performance.
The “Accuracies” given in Table 1 therefore equals the A/D conversion error.
The temperature drift (coefficient) or the cold junction compensation error is not included in the “Accuracy.”
