2.4. What are the differences between analogue and digital instruments? What advantages do digital instruments have over analogue ones? Solution Advantages of digital over analog instruments: 1) They are very easy to read. 2) Since there are very few moving parts in the electronic instruments, they are usually more accurate than theanalogue instruments. Even the human error involved in reading these instruments is very less, which adds to the accuracy of digital instruments. 3) The electronic items tend to be cheaper than the mechanical items. 4) The data from the instruments can be recorded for future reference. 5) The output of the digital devices can be obtained in the computerANALOG INSTRUMENTSDIGITAL INSTRUMENTS1.Signals in continuous fashion,gives infinite no of values in given periodIt gives finite values in given period of time2.These occupy more spaceoccupies less space3.Accuracy is poorAccuracy is good4.Chance of parallox errorno such problem5.More chances of error due to operatorvery less6.Not effects with temperatureThese are effected by temperature.
