Tx Measurement Range, Span & Quality

What is the measurement that shows how close a transmitter's output signal is to the intended signal?

• Accuracy

•  Precision

•  Error

• Frequency

What is the difference between accuracy and precision in transmitter measurements?

• Accuracy relates to how close the measurement is to the intended value, while precision relates to how repeatable the measurement is.

• Accuracy and precision are the same thing

• Precision relates to how close the measurement is to the intended value, while accuracy relates to how repeatable the measurement is

• There is no difference between accuracy and precision

How can we improve the accuracy of transmitter measurements?

• Use high-quality measuring instruments

• Calibrate the measuring instruments regularly

• Minimize environmental influences

• All of the answer

How can we express the accuracy of a transmitter measurement?

• As a percentage difference from the intended value

• As a range of possible values around the measured value

• As a qualitative assessment of "good" or "bad"

• All of the answer

What is the "measuring range" of a transmitter?

• The maximum distance it can physically be placed from the target

• The widest variety of things it can measure (e.g., temperature, pressure, etc.)

• The lowest and highest values it can accurately measure for a specific parameter

• The power output it generates when operating

A pressure transmitter with a measuring range of 0 to 100 psi. What does this mean?

• It can only measure pressures exactly at 0 or 100 psi

• It can measure pressures anywhere between 0 and 100 psi, inclusive

• It can measure pressures slightly below 0 and slightly above 100 psi

• It is designed for pressures outside of this range, but can still measure within it

Which factor plays a significant role in determining the optimal measuring range for a transmitter?

• The color of the transmitter's casing

• The power source used by the transmitter

• The typical range of values you expect to encounter for the parameter being measured

• The brand name of the transmitter manufacturer

Why is it important to choose a transmitter with an appropriate measuring range?

• To ensure accurate measurements within the desired range

• To save money on the purchase

• The type of signal it uses (electrical, pneumatic, etc.)

• The transmitter will explode

What might happen if you use a transmitter with a measuring range that is too large for your application?

• The transmitter will be less sensitive to small changes and waste money

• It is calibrated by a professional

• The transmitter will not work at all

• The transmitter will explode

How can you learn more about the specific measuring range of a particular transmitter?

• By consulting the manufacturer's specifications

• By looking at the markings on the transmitter itself

• By asking a technician
