1. The proccess of data
acquisition (obtained by comparison against standards) able to
anticipate the behavior of
someting.
2. The data so obtained.
3. The final report or documentation showing such data.
4. The stage in which someting is regarding the level of its calibration knoledge.
Adjustment is not calibration. When we adjust something
we change its behavior (usually to move it closer to standards aiming a better performance); when we
calibrate we just understand its behavior so that we can compensate or even adjust it.
