1.11 LINEARITY

Definition:
Angle
The word “linear“ comes from the Latin word linearis, output
which means created by lines. Usually, the term is used to measuring
describe a linear character. instrument
Often, the basis between a measured quantity and the
measurement signal (e.g. the output of the measuring ins-
trument or the voltage of a sensor) is a linear function. The
nominal
aim for a measuring device is proportionality and a small characteristic
error of linearity.

LINEARITY ACCORDING TO DIN 2276:
