Trim
Trimming a Fieldbus instrument
Trimming a FOUNDATION Fieldbus or a Profibus PA instrument can be initiated from the Documenting Calibrator, provided the relevant communicator option is enabled and the instrument's Device Description contains information of parameters needed for trimming.
Some fieldbus instrument manuals and user interfaces use the term "calibration" when they actually mean a trimming procedure.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Et étalonner, bien entendu pour le verbe...

: But the source text itself specifically remarks that 'calibration' is not actually correct for 'trim'.

Il semble à peu près certain qu'un calibrage n'est pas un étalonnage ?

"What's the difference between trimming and calibration?
The way I see it, trimming is adjusting something inside a device or circuit so that the difference between the device output and a reference becomes (ideally) zero. Think of adjusting a resistor in a bandgap to get a certain output voltage. Trimming = changing something in the circuit.
Calibration, on the other hand, is to measure the difference between a device output and a reference, store it, and then compensate for it, e.g. storing the offset of an ADC in a microcontroller and subtracting it there... this leaves the circuit untouched."

: Yes, it always implies a finer, sometimes sub- adjustment, usually after the main (but coarser) 'réglage' has been performed, so as to get it spot on. Can sometimes also refer to some kind of compensating adjustment (cf. aircraft)
