Error curve characteristic
If an axis position reference point P
(corresponds to the "position-independent component" of the temperature compensation)
can be observed as the temperature changes, and because of the change in length an
additional offset in the other position points, which increases with the distance to the
reference point (corresponds to the "position-dependent component" of the temperature
compensation).
The error curve for a given temperature T can generally be represented with sufficient
accuracy by a straight line with a temperature dependent gradient and reference position.
