Fluke measurement specification
philosophy
The accuracy specifications for the
2680A, Hydra and NetDAQ instruments
are calculated conservatively so that
they include 3 standard deviations
from the nominal value: this is referred
to as 3-Sigma. Greater than 99.7% of
the instruments produced will perform
within the error limits. Rigorous
screening and testing procedures catch
and correct the 3 out of 1000 instruments which would have fallen outside
their published specifications. Many
other products use a ‘root-sum-square’
scheme, or only specify the error band
within 1 standard deviation (1-Sigma)
of nominal. This method produces a
specification that appears to be more
accurate, but the resulting “typical”
specifications correctly characterize
only ~66% of the instruments produced. This method is kind of like
knowing how accurate “most of the
instruments” will be. Our 3-Sigma
specifications tell you how accurate
ALL of the instruments will be.

up and running.
