.3 Calculation of total deviation (similar to
DIN 16086)
The total deviation F
total
according to DIN 16086 is the sum of basic
accuracy F
perf
and longterm stability F
stab
. F
total
is also called
maximum practical deviation or utility error.
F
total
= F
perf
+ F
stab
F

= √((F

With analogue output, the error of the current output F

is also added.
