The degree of correctness with which the measuring system yields the "true value" of a measured quantity, where the "true i: 104 value" refers to an accepted standard, such as a standard meter or volt. Typically described in terms of a maximum percentage of deviation expected based on a full-scale reading.

The difference in the output when a specific input value is approached first with an increasing and then with a decreasing input. This phenomenon occurs in ferroelectric materials and results in irreversible Toss of energy through heat dissipation.

From page 106... ...
A ferroelectric material in which an electrical potential difference is created due to mechanical deformation, or conversely, in which the application of a voltage causes dimensional changes in the material. precision.
