INSTRUMENTATION CHARACTERISTICS
Shows the performance of instruments to beused.
Divided into two categories: static and
dynamic characteristics. Static characteristics refer to the
comparison between steady output and idealoutput when the input is constant.
Dynamic characteristics refer to thecomparison between instrument output andideal output when the input changes.

1. ACCURACY
Accuracy is the ability of aninstrument to show the exact reading.
Always related to the extent of thewrong reading/non accuracy.

+onstant error which occurs during themeasurement of an instrument.
,his error is usually rectified through calibration.
Example :
A weighing scale always gives a bias reading. ,hise*uipment always gives a reading of " g even
without any load applied. ,herefore; if A with aweight of g weighs himself; the given readingwould be " g. ,his would indicate that there isa constant bias of " g to be corrected.

N'#se5All sensors produce some output noise in addition to the output signal" Thenoise of the sensor limits the performance of the system based on the sensor"Doise is generally distributed across the fre?uency spectrum" Many commonnoise sources produce a 'hite noise distribution& 'hich is to say that thespectral noise density is the same at all fre?uencies" ,ince there is an inverse
