MEASUREMENT SIMULATION AND DATA ASSESSMENT OF CIRCULAR SCALES
Abstract
Analysis of circular scales accuracy calibration methods based on use of computer modelling and data processing including information entropy assessment here are presented. The computer simulation means for angular position measurement is presented using the circular scale simulation on the PC screen and giving a wide range of opportunities to change or select various scales’ parameters for further their analysis. Accuracy analysis of the circular scales is available applying the different methods of measurement and making experimental trials of newly developed methods. Different parameters of the scale can be simulated and an analysis of systematic and random errors can be performed as well. Methods of error correction of systematic errors can be applied and information entropy assessment can be made. The means and model of simulation give possibility to apply a wide range of parameters change with subsequent their analysis what is impossible and highly expensive in case of real experimental trials in-situ. The software developed permits to calculate accuracy parameters of thousands of angular values after simulation of measurement and using newly developed method of measurement of circular scales.
