Uses ideal quantization bins, not endpoint scaling. Does not predict accuracy, effective bits, noise or sensor resolution.
Formula & guidance
levels = 2^bits; ideal bin width = span ÷ levels
Uses ideal quantization bins, not endpoint scaling. Does not predict accuracy, effective bits, noise or sensor resolution.
Change the example inputs and check each field’s units. Use equipment datasheets and applicable project standards for final decisions. Results do not establish Canadian electrical-code compliance or certify a design.
