calibrations, plural;
  1. The action or process of calibrating an instrument or experimental readings
    • - the measuring devices require calibration
    • - calibrations in the field of electronic measurements
  2. Each of a set of graduations on an instrument

  1. (calibration) the act of checking or adjusting (by comparison with a standard) the accuracy of a measuring instrument; "the thermometer needed calibration"
  2. Calibration is a comparison between measurements - one of known magnitude or correctness made or set with one device and another measurement made in as similar a way as possible with a second device.
  3. (Calibration (geometry)) In the mathematical field of differential geometry, a calibrated manifold is a Riemannian manifold (M,g) of dimension n equipped with a differential p-form φ (for some 0 ≤ p ≤ n) which is a calibration in the sense that * φ is closed: dφ = 0, where d is the ...
  4. (Calibration (is pushing luck and key too far)) Calibration (Is Pushing Luck and Key Too Far) is the fifth studio album by Omar Rodríguez-López, and the fourth released in the "Amsterdam series". The album was released in Japan on December 15, 2007 with a following U.S. ...
  5. (Calibration (probability)) Calibrated probability assessments are subjective probabilities assigned by individuals who have been trained to assess probabilities in a way that historically represents their uncertainty . ...
  6. (Calibration (statistics)) There are two main uses of the term calibration in statistics that denote special types of statistical inference problems. Thus "calibration" can mean In addition, "calibration" is used in statistics with the usual general meaning of calibration. ...
  7. (Calibration (stock removal)) Stock removal is the process of removing material (stock) from a workpiece. Stock removal processes include: *Machining *Milling *Turning *Drilling *Grinding *Filling *Broaching *Shaping *Planing *Sawing
  8. (Calibrating) The process of checking a mechanical applicator (a fertilizer spreader or a sprinkler) to insure that it will accurately deliver the right amount of material to the right amount of area.
  9. (Calibration) A process by which a scanner, monitor, or output device is adjusted to provide a more accurate display and reproduction of images.
  10. (Calibration) The comparison of a measuring device (an unknown) against an equal or better standard.
  11. (Calibration) The process of measuring and setting the laser to the needed energy for accurate tissue removal. Some machines sculpt a PMMA plastic button to be measured by optical instruments, and others employ a 1-micron thick foil as a method of calibration.
  12. (Calibration) The act of adjusting the color of one device relative to another, such as a monitor to a printer, or a scanner to a film recorder. Or, it may be the process of adjusting the color of one device to some established standard.
  13. (Calibration) The comparison of a measurement instrument or system of unverified accuracy to a measurement instrument of system or known accuracy to detect any variation from the required performance specification.
  14. (Calibration) The set of operations which establish, under specified conditions, the relationship between values indicated by a measuring instrument or measuring system, or values represented by a material measure or a reference material, and the corresponding values of a quantity realized by a ...
  15. (Calibration) Adjustment of a transducer so the output is within a specified range for particular values of the input.
  16. (calibration) the setting or correcting of a scanner, usually by adjusting it to match or conform to a dependably known and unvarying measure. ...
  17. (CALIBRATION) The comparison of LOAD CELL OUTPUT against standard test loads.
  18. (CALIBRATION) Process of comparing an instrument's measurements with a standard.
  19. (Calibration) a quantitative procedure performed with an integrator or data acquisition system in order to relate the known concentration of standard solutions of the components to the detector signal which is generated.
  20. (Calibration) To check, adjust, or systematically standardize the graduations of a device.
  21. (Calibration) Within the context of home video, calibration means adjusting the video display to adhere to a standard, usually NTSC. Within the context of audio, calibration means adjusting the sound level of each individual channel to match the level of all other channels.
  22. (Calibration) To standardize (as a measuring instrument) by determining the deviation from a standard so as to ascertain the proper correction factors. (Merriam Webster Online)
  23. (Calibration) The process whereby the magnitude of the output of a measuring instrument is related to the magnitude of the input force driving the instrument (i.e. Adjusting a weight scale to zero when there is nothing on it).
  24. (CALIBRATION) The determination or rectification of the graduations used on a testing instrument.
  25. (Calibration) The process of determining the relationship between the output of a measurement device, and the input data, and comparing it against a measurement standard. ...
