PPT-Error in measurements

Errors in measurements Errors which can be eliminated Errors which cant be eliminated 1 Calamitous or catastrophic error 2 Alignment error 3 Errors due to ambient conditions 4 Errors due to elastic deformation. And while the error contributed by a scopes finite stepresponse rise time is often accounted for that contributed by the probe is often overlooked The probe contributes its own source of error due to its own characteristic rise time In this article 1 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 1 Measured Value of x Fraction of Total Measurements SD 01 SD 02 SD 03 brPage 5br mean standard deviation histogram Figure 3 Mass of Unknown Sample 102 104 106 108 11 112 114 116 118 12 Mass kg of Measurements brPage 6br .
