Muhammad Amin Qureshi: Electronic Instrumentation and Measurement

This document discusses key concepts in electronic instrumentation and measurement. It describes three types of errors in measurement: gross errors due to human or equipment issues, systematic errors related to calibration and environment, and random errors that occur without reason. It also defines accuracy as closeness to the true value, and precision as reproducibility of measurements. Additional terms discussed include resolution, sensitivity, range, drift, hysteresis, Wheatstone bridge and Maxwell's bridge.

Lecture 1

Electronic Instrumentation
and
Measurement

Muhammad Amin Qureshi

EE-3306: EIM @ CoE, PAF-KIET

Errors
Gross Errors
Human mistake
Bad handling and reading
Wrong or improper method of reading
Wrong range set for example

Systematic Errors
Measurement error: Calibration
Zero Error
Wear and tear
Environmental issues
Humidity, temperature, etc
EE-3306: EIM @ CoE, PAF-KIET

Errors
Random Errors
Occur without any apparent scientific
reason
Happens in electrical/electronic systems
sometimes
Solution: Increase number of readings
and use statistical mean to reduce error
effects

EE-3306: EIM @ CoE, PAF-KIET

Accuracy and Precision


Accuracy: Closeness of reading with
the true value
Precision: Reproducibility or
repeatability of measurements
Bullseye Example

EE-3306: EIM @ CoE, PAF-KIET

Accuracy and Precision


Numericals

EE-3306: EIM @ CoE, PAF-KIET

Other Parameters
Resolution: Minimum detectable
change
Sensitivity: Change in output per
change in input of the measured
variable
Range/Full Scale Reading
Drift: Change in a certain reading
with time
EE-3306: EIM @ CoE, PAF-KIET

Hysteresis
Difference in readings when
measurement is taken from opposite
directions

EE-3306: EIM @ CoE, PAF-KIET

Wheatstone Bridge

A DC bridge
Used to find unknown resistance
Not for low or very high resistances
Balanced and unbalanced modes of
operation

EE-3306: EIM @ CoE, PAF-KIET

Maxwells Bridge
An AC bridge
Used to find unknown inductance
In terms of a known capacitance
An accurate variable capacitor is hard to
make
Resistance is varied to obtain the inductance
value
