Conclusions
-
1.
These studies show that the readout error with a vibrating pointer is dependent on the operator, the position, and the state of the pointer.
-
2.
Pointer vibrations of scale up to 0.2 division do not introduce an appreciable addition readout error.
-
3.
Pointer vibrations with a scale of 0.3 division not only lead to an additional readout error of ±0.07 scale division but also increase the time required by 30%.
-
4.
This method of examining readout error for a vibrating pointer can be used in examining various instruments used under conditions of vibration.
