Performance Verification Tests
12. Display Scale Fidelity

Table 2-15.

11.Calculate the Linear Fidelity Error (LFE) as a percentage of

reference level (RL), and record the result in the performance

verification test record as indicated in Column 9 of Table 2-15.

Example calculation for LFE(% of RL):
