M48 should be called Probe Precision (or Repeatability) Test about marlindocumentation HOT 6 CLOSED

I think it would be a probe precision test. It is reporting a deviation between each probing. But yes some may think its an accuracy test, in some aspects you could say it reveals the probes accuracy limit.

My that was a quick response!

In discussions with others, I have found that folks seem to immediately understand the term "repeatability" but their eyes glaze over with "precision". So, I think it is important to lead with repeatability but include precision for the engineer-types.

Regarding accuracy, I have been spending a lot of time lately explaining the difference between accuracy and repeatability (precision) but I do not understand what you mean by accuracy limit. Do you mean the resolution of the probe (which is different from both accuracy and precision)?

Nope, it is as described.
See https://wtmaths.com/applying_limits_accuracy.html

from marlindocumentation.

That link is not about precision but is about the uncertainty in a measured value and the limits that are placed on accuracy as a result. I would therefore still maintain that M48 is only about probe precision and that it says nothing about probe accuracy or the limits thereof.

"However it is stated, the range is the Limit of Accuracy for that measurement."
"deviation is range"
