Study Notes
Basic Principles of Instrumentation and Control
- Accuracy of instruments, such as a thermometer with a range of 5000°C, can be quantified as ±0.5% of the scale range.
- Example calculation: A moving coil voltmeter with 100 divisions and a full-scale reading of 200V allows estimation of resolution as 1/10 of a scale division.
- The resolution of this instrument can be calculated by determining the smallest voltage change detectable on the scale.
Digital Voltmeter Resolution
- A digital voltmeter with a display range from 0 to 9,999 counts offers a distinct resolution at full-scale of 9.999V.
- The resolution in this case is determined by the smallest count increment on the display relative to the maximum voltage.
Ohmmeter Measurements and Accuracy
- A resistor with a color code of Red, Brown, Green, Gold (2.05 Megaohm) can be assessed for percent error and accuracy when measured with an ohmmeter.
- Another resistor coded Red, Black, Blue, Gold (20.24 Megaohm) can similarly be evaluated for accuracy and percent error using its measured value.
- Percent error and accuracy calculations are essential for verifying the performance of measuring instruments.
Elements of Electronic Instruments
- Understanding common components and metrics of electronic instruments is crucial for proper measurement and control in engineering applications.
