1. The proccess of data acquisition (obtained by
comparison against standards) able to
anticipate the behavior of someting.
2. The data so obtained.
3. The final report or
documentation showing such data.
4. The stage in which someting is regarding the level of its calibration knoledge.
Adjustment is not calibration. When we adjust something we change its behavior (usually to move it closer to standards aiming a better
performance); when we calibrate we just
understand its behavior so that we can
compensate or even adjust it.
