total error; absolute accuracy error (of a linear digital-to-analog converter) (E_T)

The difference (positive or negative) between the actual step value and the nominal step value for any step.

NOTE 1 If this error is expressed as a relative value, the term "relative accuracy error" should be used rather than "absolute accuracy error" or "total error".

NOTE 2 This error includes all contributions from offset error, gain error, and linearity error.
