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.
The device with the known or
assigned correctness is called the
standard. The second device is the
unit under test (UUT), test
instrument (TI), or any of several
other names for the device being
calibrated.

Component characteristic errors are independent and of the same order of magnitude.
The distribution of errors is normal (Gaussian), i.e. we consider only the random
errors
