1 With the deflection method, the result of the measurement is entirely determined by the readout of the measurement device. The difference method indicates only the difference between the unknown quantity and the known, reference quantity. Here, the result of the measurement is partially determined by the readout of the measurement device used and partially by the reference quantity. With the null method, the result is entirely determined by a known reference quantity. The readout of the measurement instrument is used only to adjust the reference quantity to exactly the same value as the known quantity. The indication is then zero and instrument is therefore used as a null detector. 3. MEASUREMENT METHODS. 3.1. Deflection, difference, and null methods 3.MEASUREMENT METHODS 3.1.

21 3. MEASUREMENT METHODS. 3.2. Interchange method and substitution method Example: Substitution method. Calibration of a measurement system is, in fact, an application of the substitution method. First the system is calibrated with a know quantity. An unknown quantity can then be measured accurately if its magnitude coincides with the calibrating points. Two next measurement methods, compensation and bridge methods, are also, in fact, applications of the substitution method. Reference: [1]

22 3. MEASUREMENT METHODS. 3.3. Compensation method and bridge method 3.3. Compensation method and bridge method Compensation method removes the effect of unknown quantity on the measurement system by compensating it with the effect of known quantity. The degree of compensation can be determined with a null indicator. If the unknown effect is compensated completely, no power is supplied or withdrawn from the unknown quantity. The compensation method requires an auxiliary power source that can supply precisely the same power that otherwise would have been withdrawn from the measured quantity. Reference: [1]

Compensation method and bridge method Bridge method (Christie, 1833, Wheatstone, 1843) V ref R (1 ) R V ref VxVx V ref Null detector = Originally was called ‘ the bridge ’ It can be shown that the null condition does not depend on the power delivered by the power supply, the circuits internal impedance or the internal impedance of the null detector. Note that the bridge method requires a single power source. R RR RxRx Reference: [1]

26 3. MEASUREMENT METHODS. 3.4. Analogy method 3.4. Analogy method Analogy method makes use of a model of the object from which we wish to obtain measurement information. The following models can be used. Mathematical models (simulations). Scale models (e.g., acoustics of large halls, etc.). Non-linear scale models (e.g., wind tunnel models, etc.). Analogy method also widely uses the analogy existing between different physical phenomena, for example, equivalent mechanical models are used to model electrical resonant circuits, equivalent electrical models are used to model quartz resonators, equivalent magnetic circuits are used to model magnetic systems, etc.

27 3. MEASUREMENT METHODS. 3.5. Repetition method 3.5. Repetition method Wit this method several measurements of the same unknown quantity are conducted each according to a different procedure to prevent the possibility of making the same (systematic) errors, specific to a certain type of measurements. Different (correctly applied) methods of measurements will provide similar results, but the measurement errors in the results will be independent of each other. This will yield an indication of the reliability of measurements. 6 7 8 9 10 9 8 7 6 67899876 Unreliable Valid 6 7 8 9 10 9 8 7 6 67899876 6 7 8 9 9 8 7 6 67899876 Reliable Reference: [1]
