Zero

Definition

The measured value an instrument reports at the bottom of its calibrated range.

A suppressed zero simply means the lower range value is not zero, such as a transmitter ranged 2 to 27 feet. The scaling arithmetic handles it, but leaving the low constant at zero produces a constant error equal to the suppression.

Also known as: lower range value, suppressed zero.
