Module 1
Q 1. Sketch the functional block-diagram of a generalized measurement system and describe the
function of each element. Give the suitable example indicating clearly all the functional
elements.
Q 2. Describe various types of errors encountered in measurement and the methods used to
reduce or eliminate them.
Q3. What are desired, modifying and interfering inputs? Explain with examples of each.
Also suggest methods to minimize the effect of these.
Q4. Distinguish between the two of the following giving suitable examples:
i) Accuracy and Precision
ii) Null and deflection methods
iii) Primary and secondary instruments
iv) Analog & Digital modes of operation
Q5. What do you understand by calibration? With suitable example explain the procedure of
calibration.
Q6. Write a short note on uncertainty analysis for combination errors in measurement.
