Abstract

A method of averaging a plurality of measured modulo values respectively produced by a corresponding plurality of measuring devices and each corresponding to the same input parameter applied thereto, the method comprising the steps of: PA1 applying a convenient same value of the input parameter to each of the measuring devices; PA1 selecting one of the plurality of measuring devices as a reference; PA1 measuring the offset between the measured modulo values of the measuring device selected as a reference and each of the remaining measuring devices; PA1 applying an arbitrary same value of the input parameter to each of the measuring devices; PA1 measuring the respective modulo values from the plurality of measuring devices; PA1 diminishing each of the measured modulo values from a non-reference measuring device by the offset associated with that measuring device; and PA1 averaging the measured modulo value from the reference measuring device and the diminished measured modulo values.
