Temperature Range<br />

Temperature range is a statement of the high and low limits over which the<br />

target temperature can be measured by the instrument. A typical specification<br />

would be. for example. "temperature range 0 to 1000 °C (32 to 1832 ºF).“<br />

Absolute Accuracy<br />

Absolute accuracy, as defined by the National Lnstitute of Standards and<br />

Technology (NIST) standard, entails the maximum error. over the full range,<br />

that the measurement will have when compared to this standard blackbody<br />

reference. A typical specification would be, for example. "absolute accuracy<br />

±0.5 °C (±0.9 ºF) ± 1 percent of full scale.“<br />
