This document discusses different types of instruments and their performance characteristics. It begins by distinguishing between active and passive instruments. Active instruments use an external power source to modulate their output, while passive instruments generate their own output entirely from the measured quantity. It then discusses key parameters that characterize instrument performance, such as accuracy, precision, sensitivity, resolution, and hysteresis. Different types of instruments are also covered, such as analog and digital instruments, as well as smart vs. non-smart instruments. The document provides examples to illustrate concepts like precision vs. accuracy. It concludes by discussing instrument calibration and recalibration over time.

The static characteristics are defined for the instruments which measure quantities which do not vary with time. ... The accuracy of a measurement indicates the nearness to the actual/true value of the quantity. 7. 2.Sensitivity Sensitivity is the ratio of change in output of an instrument to the change in input.
nstrumentation is the art of science of measurement and control. It is an applied
science that deals with analysis and design of systems for measurement purposes such as
quantify or expressing a variable numerically, determine or ascertain the value
(magnitude) of some particular phenomena, indicate record, register, signal, or perform
some operation on the value it has determined. Measurement is the process of quantifying
input quantity.
The role of measurement in ones country development particularly in the
advancement of science and technology is huge; this is because of the need or eagerness
for understanding of events or physical phenomenon.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Instrument Types And Performance Characteristics
2. Active Instruments
- The quantity being measured simply modulates (adapts to) the
magnitude of some external power source.
Passive Instruments
- The instrument output is entirely produced by the quantity being
measured.
Difference between active and passive instruments is the level of
measurement resolution that can be obtained.
Active And Passive Instruments

4. 3
The change in petrol level moves a potentiometer arm, and the output
signal consists of a proportion of the external voltage source applied
across the two ends of the potentiometer.
The energy in the output signal comes from the external power source:
the primary transducer float system is merely modulating the value of the
voltage from this external power source.
6. 5
The pressure of the fluid is translated into a movement of a pointer
against scale.
The energy expanded in moving the pointer is derived entirely from the
change in pressure measured: there are no other energy inputs to the
system.

Analogue and Digital Instruments
Analogue Instrument
An analogue instrument gives an output that varies continuously as the
quantity being measured; e.g. Deflection-type of pressure gauge

Important Parameters
12. 11
The accuracy of an instrument is a measure of how close the output
reading of the instrument is to the correct value. Measurement that are
close to each other are precise. Measurement can be:
- Precise but inaccurate;
- Neither precise nor accurate;
- Precise and accurate.
Accuracy And Precision
13. 12
Example:
Three industrial robots were programmed to place components at a
particular point on a table. The target point was the center of a circle
shown below. The results are:
Figure 5: Low precision and low accuracy. Figure 6: Precise not accurate.
Figure 7: Precise and accurate.

Repeatability describes the closeness of output readings when the same
input is applied repetitively over a short period of time, with the same
measurement conditions, same instrument and observer, same location
and same conditions of use maintained throughout.
Reproducibility describes the closeness of output reading for the same
input when there are changes in the method of measurement, observer,
measuring instrument, location, conditions of use and time of
measurement.
Both terms thus describe the spread of output readings for the same input.
This spread is referred to as repeatability if the measurement conditions
are constant and as reproducibility if the measurement conditions vary.
Repeatability/Reproducibility
15. 14
Tolerance is a term that is closely related to accuracy and defines the
maximum error that is to be expected in some value
Example:
Electric circuit components such as resistors have tolerances of perhaps
5 %. One resistor chosen at random from a batch having a nominal value
1000 Ω and tolerance 5 % might have an actual value anywhere between
950 Ω and 1050 Ω.
Tolerance
16. 15
The range or span of an instrument defines the minimum and maximum
values of a quantity that the instrument is designed to measure.
Example:
- 0 − 20 V range of a multimeter.
- 0 − 1 V range of an oscilloscope.
Range Or Span
17. 16
It is highly desirable that the measurement has a linear relationship
between input and output means that the change in output is proportional
to the change in the value of the measurand. Deviation from true linearity
is called linearity error.

Sensitivity is the ratio of change in magnitude of the output to the change
in magnitude of the measurand

Threshold
If the input to an instrument is gradually increased from zero, the input
will have to reach a certain minimum level before the change in the
instrument output reading is of a large enough magnitude to be detectable.
This minimum level of input is known as the threshold of the instrument.
20. 19
Resolution
Resolution is the lower limit on the magnitude of the change in the input
measured quantity that produces an observable change in the instrument
output.
Example:
Using a car speedometer as an example again, this has subdivisions of
typically 20
km
h
. This means that when the needle is between the scale
markings, we cannot estimate speed more accurately than to the nearest
5
km
h
. This figure of 5
km
h
thus represents the resolution of the instrument.
21. 20
Sensitivity To Disturbance
As variations occur in the ambient temperature etc., certain static
instrument characteristics change, and the sensitivity to disturbance is a
measure of the magnitude of this change. Such environmental changes
effect instruments in two main ways, known as zero drift and sensitivity
drift.
Zero drift is sometimes known by the alternative term, bias. Zero drift or
bias describes the effect where the zero reading of an instrument is
modified by a change in ambient conditions.
Sensitivity drift (also known as scale factor drift) defines the amount by
which an instrument’s sensitivity of measurement varies as ambient
conditions change.

A new instrument will have been calibrated when it is obtained from an
instrument manufacturer, and will therefore initially behave according to
the characteristics stated in the specifications.
During use, however, its behavior will gradually diverge from the stated
specifications for a variety of reasons. Such reasons include mechanical
wear, and the effects of dirt, dust, fumes and chemicals in the operating
environment. The rate of divergence from standard specifications varies
according to the type of instrument, the frequency of usage and the
severity of the operating conditions.
When the characteristics of the instrument will have drifted from the
standard specification by an unacceptable amount, then it is necessary to
recalibrate the instrument to the standard specifications.
