Offset is regarded as a special feature in information electronics as an address, which is formed from an origin address and an offset, which usually has an integer value. To verify a realistic memory address, i.e. to be able to calculate it, an offset, which is called the offset, is added to the original address. This enables segmentation in the real mode of x86 processor systems to be stored according to the segment scheme: Offset. The offset is then added to the address of the segment. The actual address can then be calculated by Address = (segment number x 16) + Offset. In safe mode it is possible to determine a start address of the actual segment from the segment selector. The offset is then added to this address of the segment again. A linear, logical memory address is the result. So-called systematic errors can also be referred to as offset. In parallel, there are the terms systematic deviation, or systematic distortion. In the fields of technology and science, the one-sided deviation of a measurement or experiment series from the expected value is called such. In contrast to random errors that usually follow the normal distribution, systematic errors have a higher error rate. They cause measurement values that are too high or too low. They cannot be corrected by averaging repeated measurements or by a compensating calculation. This requires special calibrations with precise measuring instruments. Constant systematic measurement errors are called offset.
