Hello
"le premier moyen de conversion analogique/numérique comprend en outre un premier soustracteur qui soustrait à la première tension de detection une tension de décalage dite tension d’offset afin de délivrer en sortir une tension(..)
I thought this was « offset voltage » but i have just after it « tension d’offset »
Thank you

offset voltage
It's even explained as such in your source text!

I think you are perhaps misinterpreting what your source text says; far from saying this is not an offset voltage, what it does is explain that the FR term 'décalage' is also sometimes referred to using the EN term 'offset'.
It is normal in lots of circumstances to need to use a subtractor in this way to remove an offset voltage; typically, in A>D conversion, in order to ensure that zero input signal produces the correct corresponding digital output.

Among other possibilities, 'offset voltage' is a very frequent contender amongst the aligned documents on offer via Linguee:

Yes, I think you should just ignore it; in effect, it is saying "in FR we say 'tension de décalage', otherwise known by the EN term tension d'offset'"
Does that make it clearer?
The problem is that the FR word 'décalage' is ambiguous, whereas the EN word 'offset' is not — which may explain why some FR writers prefer to use the anglicism and avoid confusion.

Note from asker:
| Thanks for yor answer, no I do understand what the text is saying, "tension de décalage" is "tension d'offset", but should I just ignore the "dite tension d’offset" part? I'm not sure whether I'm making sense now.. |
| great, yes crystal clear :) thanks |

: Although possible in some contexts, I don't think this would be the most usual term encountered in this sort of context.
