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.
