my understandin about NPO is also "negative positive-zero". But this is
not just that 'it's better'. I understand it to mean that it varies around the
value. with a mean of the indicated value. The other options are
not less than (and i forget the indications for these) and not greater
than (and this is a rare bird). The purpose of an NPO would be to
have a falue for a filter, for instance, where a "not less than" would be
a bypass cap for digital circuits
