Calibration
Calibration is the operation of comparing a measuring instrument against a measurement standard of known value and uncertainty, establishing metrological traceability through an unbroken chain of calibrations from national standards.
Calibration curve
A calibration curve, also called a standard curve, is the relationship between known reference standard values and an instrument's readings, used to convert signals into quantities.
Graphene quantum Hall resistance metrology
Graphene quantum Hall resistance metrology is the use of graphene as the active material in quantized Hall resistance devices that realize the ohm under relaxed cryogenic and magnetic conditions.
Quantum Hall resistance standard
A quantum Hall resistance standard is a device realizing the SI unit of resistance, the ohm, from the quantum Hall effect, where resistance takes values fixed by the Planck constant and elementary charge.
Two-point calibration
Two-point calibration is a metrology method that adjusts an instrument's offset and span using measurements at two known reference points, valid only when the response is linear.
Wavelength calibration
Wavelength calibration is the metrology procedure that assigns accurate wavelength values to a spectrometer's detector pixels by comparing measured spectral lines against known reference standards, usually with a fitted polynomial.
