Total uncertainty specification
What it does
Our Total Uncertainty Specification defines the test accuracy to be expected by a user over a range of practical conditions such as:
- The instrument operating temperature range
- The instrument measuring range
- Different optical connector styles
- Different fiber types
User benefit
Most other manufacturers only define accuracy under:
- Controlled temperature lab environments, or even in an environmental chamber.
- "Under calibration conditions" eg at only one mid-range power level, with one connector style.
- Read the specification notes / small print to find these hidden exclusions...
We have observed absolute errors of several dB on some of these units. The lack of any better specification is not an accident.
