Repeatability

A repeatability ( reproducibility) error is caused by the inability of a sensor to represent the same value under identical conditions. It is expressed as the maximum difference between output readings as determined by two calibrating cycles (Fig. 2.7A), unless otherwise specified. It is usually represented as % of FS:

Possible sources of the repeatability error may be thermal noise, buildup charge, material plasticity, and so forth.
