Overall Accuracy

The accuracy of the module is determined by many aspects of the
hardware and software functionality of the module. The following
attempts to explain what the user can expect in terms of accuracy based
on the thermocouple, RTD, resistance, and millivolt, volt, and milliamp
inputs for the NI8u module.
