Exploiting the Accuracy of Measurement Systems

Roberto Lojacono

Abstract

In this paper we present a technique to improve the accuracy of a measurement system. This technique is based on the arithmetic of the integer numbers in finite fields and represent an extension of the well known “calliper rule”. The said technique is explained by using some simple measurement examples, in particular length, time and mass measurements. Some related possibilities of improvement for the modern instrumentation are suggested and discussed.
