// To find Limiting error // Modern Electronic Instrumentation And Measurement Techniques // By Albert D. Helfrick, William D. Cooper // First Edition Second Impression, 2009 // Dorling Kindersly Pvt. Ltd. India // Example 1-12 in Page 14 clear; clc; close; // Given data scale = 150; percentage_accuracy = 1/100; // accuracy of 1% full scale reading V = 83; //voltage measured by instrument = 83 volt //Calculations limiting_error = percentage_accuracy * scale; printf("The magnitude of the limiting error = %0.1f V\n",limiting_error); percentage_error = limiting_error/V * 100; printf("The percentage limiting error = %0.2f percent",percentage_error); //Result // The magnitude of the limiting error = 1.5 V // The percentage limiting error = 1.81 percent
