and

Offset Error = 1.5 • Differential (DF) Resolution + 1 µV 

= (1.5 • 167 µV) + 1 µV 

= 2515 µV = 0.252 mV 

Therefore,

Error = Gain Error + Offset Error  

= ±2 mV + 0.251 mV 

= ±2.252 mV 

In contrast, the error for a 1000-mV input under the same constraints is ±0.451
mV. Figure Voltage Measurement Accuracy

(p. 285)

illustrates the total error with

respect to voltage measurements for the ±5000-mV and ±1000-mV ranges.
