resolution, relative (of a linear analog-to-digital converter or digital-to-analog converter)

The ratio of the analog resolution to the full-scale range (practical or nominal).

NOTE This ratio is normally expressed as a percentage of the full-scale range (% of FSR or % of FSR(nom)). For high resolutions (high value of n), it is of little importance whether this ratio refers to the practical or nominal full-scale range.
