| Zero Adjustments: Used when "setting up" a transducer to adjust the output signal to zero when zero load/pressure is applied.
|
| Zero Balance: The output signal of the transducer with rated excitation and with no-load applied, usually expressed as a percent of rated output.
|
| Zero Offset: 1. The difference expressed in degrees between true zero and an indication given by a measuring instrument. 2. See Zero Suppression
|
| Zero Point: The electrical zero point where zero millivolts would be displayed. Used in conjunction with the slope control to provide a narrower range calibration.
|
| Zero Power Resistance: The resistance of a thermistor or RTD element with no power being dissipated.
|
| Zero Return: The difference in zero balance measured immediately before rated load application of specified duration and measured after removal of the load, and when the output has stabilized.
|
| Zero Suppression: The span of an indicator or chart recorder may be offset from zero (zero suppressed) such that neither limit of the span will be zero. For example, a temperature recorder which records a 100? span from 400? to 500? is said to have 400? zero suppression.
|
| Zero Thermal Error: The maximum zero error, caused by temperature, within the compensated temperature range.
|
| Zero Voltage Switching: The making or breaking of circuit timed such that the transition occurs when the voltage wave form crosses zero voltage; typically only found in solid state switching devices.
