Burden Voltage: Burden voltage is a voltage drop across the input
terminals of a current measuring device, caused by internal shunt
resistance. Burden voltage contributes to the measurement error, and
should be as low as practical.
Temperature Coefficient: Temperature Coefficient is a factor used
to calculate the change in indication or output of an instrument with
changes in temperature. Un-compensated changes in temperature
contribute uncertainty by an amount determined by the temperature
coefficient of the instrument.
Analog Bar Graph: The analog bar graph provides a visual indication
of measurements similar to a traditional analog meter’s needle. It is
excellent in detecting faulty contacts, identifying potentiometer’s clicks
and indicating signal spikes during adjustments.
