𝑂 = 𝐾1 𝐾2 𝐾3 ⋯ 𝐾𝑖 ⋯ 𝐾𝑛 𝐼
• System Error 𝐸 = 𝑂 − 𝐼 = 𝐾1 𝐾2 𝐾3 … 𝐾𝑖 … 𝐾𝑛 − 1 𝐼
• So, if 𝐾1 𝐾2 𝐾3 … 𝐾𝑖 … 𝐾𝑛 = 1 then 𝐸 = 0
• The system is said to be perfectly accurate

Measurement Error of a System of Ideal Elements
• The output voltage of the amplifier is also affected by changes in ambient temperature
• The sensitivity K3 of the indicator depends on the stiffness of the restoring spring in the
moving coil assembly. This is affected by changes in environmental temperature and wear,
causing K3 to deviate from 25 °C V−1
• Thus, the condition K1K2K3 = 1 cannot be always satisfied and the system is in error

Modelling Using Error Bands
• When non-linearity, hysteresis and environmental effects are small, their overall effect
is quantified using error bands h

Error Reduction Techniques
• Compensation techniques:
▪ Adding compensating non-linear element into the system
▪ Isolation to reduce environmental effects
o Placing of the reference junction of a thermocouple in a temperature-controlled enclosure
▪ Zero environmental sensitivity
o Using a metal alloy with zero temperature coefficients of expansion and resistance as a strain
gauge element
▪ Opposing environmental inputs
▪ Differential system
▪ High-gain negative feedback
▪ Computer estimation of measured value using inverse model equation

Computer Estimation of Measured Value Using Inverse
Model Equation
• Values of system output Oi are measured and the corresponding system error Ei is calculated
𝐸𝑖 = 𝑂𝑖 − 𝐼𝑖 for 𝑖 = 1,2,3, ⋯ , 𝑛
𝐸 = 𝑘𝑂 + 𝑏
• The system error is checked to see if it has any correlation with the output
σ𝑛𝑖=1 𝑂𝑖 𝐸𝑖
𝑟=
σ𝑛𝑖=1 𝑂𝑖2 × σ𝑛𝑖=1 𝐸𝑖2
• If r > 0.5, then the system error is systematic and can be removed from the output, otherwise the
system error is random and can not be removed:
O’=O-E=O-(kO+b) if r>0.5
