Issue Details

I am looking for the span drift and zero drift specifications of PXIe-4303. It seems like this spec can't be found in the PXIe-4303 specification.

Solution

Span drift corresponds to scale variations (gain error or gain stability) in a measuring instrument while zero drift corresponds to offset error or offset stability. Both of them are  one of the factors contributing to absolute accuracy described in the specification page 3, and it becomes particularly significant when dealing with small signals.
