4Measurement microphone calibration — In order to take a scientific measurement with a microphone, its precise sensitivity must be known (in volts per Pascal). Since this may change over the lifetime of the device, it is necessary to regularly calibrate measurement microphones. This… …
5Measurement uncertainty — In metrology, measurement uncertainty is a non negative parameter characterizing the dispersion of the values attributed to a measured quantity. The uncertainty has a probabilistic basis and reflects incomplete knowledge of the quantity. All… …
6Measurement systems analysis — A Measurement System Analysis (MSA) is a specially designed experiment that seeks to identify the components of variation in the measurement. Just as processes that produce a product may vary, the process of obtaining measurements and data may… …
