TSS – Thermal Span or Sensitivity Shift

Thermal Span or Sensitivity Shift (TSS) signifies the maximum amount of span that will change at any measurement point within the compensated temperature range.

The TSS error is normally expressed either as a percentage of full scale over the compensated temperature range or as a percentage of full scale per degC, degF or K e.g. ±0.01%FS/DegF.
