5/88 3.2.1 Meaning of Static Calibration 1.Static Calibration Static Calibration refers to a situation in which all inputs (desire, interfering,modifying)except one are kept at some constant values().Then the one input under study is varied over some range of constant values,which causes the output(s)to vary over some range of constant values. A family of static input-output relations can be developed by varying in turn each input considered to be of interest. ◆Specify the variation of several inputs simultaneously同时)when overall rather than individual effects were desired. ◆In practice,“all other inputs are held constant'”refers to an idea situation which can only be approached(接近，but never reached达到)，because modifying and/.or interfering inputs may be impractical(不实际的)to control. 6/88 3.2.1 Meaning of Static Calibration 2.Accuracy Usually there is no need to measure interfering/modifying inputs with extremely high accuracy(准确性)level because these inputs have relatively small effects on the output. A rule often followed is that the calibration system (the standard and any auxiliary(附件)used with it)have a total uncertainty(不确 定性)four times better than the unit under test..

3.2.1 Meaning of Static Calibration 1. Static Calibration Static Calibration refers to a situation in which all inputs (desire, interfering, modifying) except one are kept at some constant values(常数). Then the one input under study is varied over some range of constant values, which causes the output(s) to vary over some range of constant values. A family of static input-output relations can be developed by varying in turn each input considered to be of interest. Specify the variation of several inputs simultaneously(同时) when overall rather than individual effects were desired. In practice, “all other inputs are held constant” refers to an idea situation which can only be approached( 接 近 ), but never reached(达到), because modifying and/or interfering inputs may be impractical(不实际的) to control. 5/88 2. Accuracy Usually there is no need to measure interfering/modifying inputs with extremely high accuracy(准确性) level because these inputs have relatively small effects on the output. A rule often followed is that the calibration system (the standard and any auxiliary(附件) used with it) have a total uncertainty(不确 定性) four times better than the unit under test. 3.2.1 Meaning of Static Calibration Low Accuracy High Precision High Accuracy Low Precision High Accuracy High Precision 6/88

Primary Standards are considered the "state of the art",that is,the most accurate way known to measure the quantity of interest.

9/88 3.2.2 Measured Value versus True Value 1.How close the measured value may be to its true value? The so-called true value is,in general,unknown or unknowable. The term "true value"really refers to a value called the reference value that would be obtained if the quantity under consideration were measured by an exemplar(典型；范例)method,.that is,.a method agreed by experts as being sufficiently accurate for the purpose to which the data ultimately() will be put. ◆The measurement process consists of actually carrying out(执行)，as well as possible,the instructions for performing the measurement,which are the measurement method. The data generated from a large number of repeated measurement under assumed identical conditions may be used to describe the measurement process so that,if it is used in the future,we may be able to attach some numerical estimates of error to its outputs. 10/88 3.2.2 Measured Value versus True Value 2.Statistical Control To give a meaningful description of the measurement process,the output data must form what is called a random sequence(随机序列)， or in another way of saying this,the process must be in the state of statistical control. Statistical Control Statistical Process Control (SPC),is the application of statistical methods to the monitoring and control of a process to ensure that it operates at its full potential to produce conforming product.Under SPC,a process behaves predictably to produce as much conforming product as possible with the least possible waste. To speak the accuracy of an instrument,the instrument must be considered with its environment and method of use,that is,the instrument plus its inputs

11/88 3.2.2 Measured Value versus True Value 3.Realization of Statistical Control In defining a calibration procedure for a specific instrument,we specify that certain inputs must be held "constant"within certain limits. These inputs,it is hoped,are the ones that contribute the largest components to the overall error of the instrument. The remaining infinite number of inputs is left uncontrolled and it is hoped that each of these individually contributes only a very small effect and that in the aggregate(form or group into a class or cluster总共； 作为总体)their effect on the instrument output will be of a random nature.
