Static And Dynamic Characteristics

Static Characteristics : Static characteristics are those that must be considered when the system or instrument is used to condition not varying with time or vary only quite slowly.

Accuracy: Accuracy is the closeness with which an instrument reading approaches the true value of the quantity being measured.
Sensitivity = change in output signal or measure change in output signal or measure Reproducibility: Reproducibility is the degree of closeness with which a given value may be repeatedly measured. It may be specified in turns of units for a given period of time. Drift : Drift means that with given input the measured value do not vary with time. It is undesirable in instruments because it is rarely apparent by V.BALAJI, M.Tech,(P h.D), and cannot be easily compensated.AP/EEE ,DCE

Observational Errors The errors which occur due to improper observation made by the observer are called observational errors.
Example: The pointer of a voltmeter rests slightly above the surface of the scale. Thus an error on account of parallax will be incurred unless the line vision of the observer is exactly above the pointer.

Statistical evaluation of measurement of data

This is necessary to obtain the probable true value of the measured quantity. Systematic way of specifying this uncertainty is the systematic method The most probable value of a measured value can be estimated by following different methods are: a) Arithmetic mean b) Median c) Mode d) deviation from the mean e) Average deviation f) Standard deviation g) Variance

DEVIATION FROM THE MEAN Deviation is the departure of a given reading from the arithmetic mean of the group of readings. If the deviation of first reading X1 is called d1 , and that of second reading X2 is called as d2 and so on , then the deviations from the mean can be expressed as, d1 = X1 X d2 = X2 X , etc.
