Identifier	PrefLabel	Definition	Date
CAPB0001	Accuracy	The maximum difference that exists between an actual value and an indicated value output from a sensor. The actual value is usually measured by a reference standard.	2016-07-20
CAPB0002	Damping ratio	Dimensionless measure describing how oscillations in a system decay after a disturbance. Many systems exhibit oscillatory behavior when they are disturbed from their position of static equilibrium.	2016-07-20
CAPB0011	Detection limit	The smallest quantity of an input parameter that can be detected by a system or device.	2016-07-20
CAPB0003	Frequency	The number of cycles or events of a waveform.	2016-07-20
CAPB0004	Latency	The time taken for a device or system after receiving an input signal to change its output signal from its previous state to a final settled value.	2016-07-20
CAPB0006	Measurement range	The maximum and minimum values of a parameter that can be measured by a system or device.	2016-07-20
CAPB0012	Operating depth	The depth below seawater to which a system or device will operate effectively.	2016-07-20
CAPB0014	Operating temperature range	The temperature at which a system or device will operate effectively.	2017-12-08
CAPB0005	Precision	The degree of reproducibility of a measurement.	2016-07-20
CAPB0007	Resolution	The smallest detectable incremental change of an input parameter that can be detected in the output signal of a system or device.	2016-07-20
CAPB0008	Response time	The time taken for a device or system after receiving an input signal to change its output signal from its previous state.	2016-07-20
CAPB0010	Selectivity	The ability to measure a group of parameters or only one parameter in the presence of other interfering parameters.	2016-07-20
CAPB0009	Sensitivity	The change in output per unit change in the parameter being measured by a system or device.	2016-07-20
CAPB0013	Survival depth	The depth below seawater to which the integrity of a system or device is not compromised.	2016-07-20
