Tyler chaves homework 1 ms. anna dugas be 2350. Figure 1: schematic of elements in a measurement system. Unnecessary elements are denoted by dotted lines in the schematic. 1. 4 problem: name and discuss three application areas for measurement systems. One application area is used in regulating trade, employing instruments to measure physical quantities such as length, volume and mass in standard units. Another application area is in calibrating instruments used in control systems. A third application area of measurement systems is utilized in automatic feedback control systems. Accuracy and resolution is important in these systems, and precise measurements can give more control of quality. 2. 4 problem: explain differences between analogue and digital instruments and the advantages digital instruments have. 2. 5 problem: explain the difference between static and dynamic characteristics of measuring instruments. Static characteristics of measuring instruments define the quality of the measurements given once an instrument has reached a steady reading.
