Thermal noise (Johnson noise)
Electronic noise generated by the thermal agitation of the charge carriers (usually the electrons) inside an electrical conductor at equilibrium, which happens regardless of any applied voltage.

Extreme values of an error permitted by specifications, regulations, etc., for a given measuring instrument, test, or measurement application.

Traceability is the thread that connects your calibrated tools to established references and standards. It confirms that your instruments will measure accepted units (whether electronic, optical, or dimensional) to agreed levels of accuracy. Traceability is key to meeting worldwide measurement, trade and regulatory requirements.

Confirmation, through the provision of objective evidence, that the requirements for a specific intended use or application have been fulfilled.
