In the United States , the National Institute Of Standards And Technology , a part of the federal government, maintains standards and is considered the arbiter and ultimate (in the U.S.) authority for values of SI units and industrial standards. NIST also provides Traceability to its standards by calibration, by which an instrument's accuracy is established by comparing, in an unbroken chain, to higher level standards, e.g. the standards maintained by NIST. For each step in the process, the Measurement Uncertainty is evaluated. In computing, an Interactive Whiteboard pen or other input method can be calibrated so that relation between the physical pen position and the position of the Cursor on the screen is established and properly adjusted.
