Conclusions

1. In determining derivatives from the increments of the argument and function in analog-digital measuring systems, the error may attain large values, even for precise measurement of the variables. 2. When it is impossible to smooth out errors at the function quantization points, it is advisable to determine the derivative by first differentiating the function in analog form.
