Spanish term or phrase: Paralelaje
I am not even sure this word exists, here is the context:

En manómetros analógicos "aguja" cuyo valor de presión de saturación varia durante el registro, debe tomarse el valor promedio entre el punto mínimo y máximo observado.
• La variación entre valores registrados de una bitácora a otra consecutiva no debe ser mayor a ± 20 Pa.
Esta variación puede darse por error de paralelaje en el momento de registro, si se observa una variación mayor, será necesario investigar la causa y registrarla en una orden de trabajo.

ASKER My inexperience with air conditioning terminology

The question is, which is better for this kind of text? I understand that both are related to parallels, but are they both used for my context? I ask this question because I am not a specialist in air conditioning and filters, saturation, etc. Thanks :-0))

Re:@Eileen

My opinion. The ST is talking about analogic instruments, it means an instrument with a needle that shows the right value to you. That value will be the right one if the position of the observer's eyes is the right one exactly in front of the instrument. If the observer's eyes are not well alligned, with the front of the instrument, the error due to parallax (paralaje in SP) will appear. HTH

En realidad, no es un error de ortografia.
Es un error algo común en castellano ya que mucha gente no sabe la palabra técnica correcta "paralaje" que además suena muy difícil y por ello en vez de buscar en un diccionario la palabra correcta escriben lo que les suena mejor que es "paralelaje", lo cual es incorrecto y así se irá deformando el idioma, supongo.

Paralleling error


Explanation:
The paralleling error currents are detected in a conventional manner by a difference current transformer arrangement.

but it will be a little difficult because the paralleling error of the plane of beam and saw-blade center will be bigger
