A digit DMM has the error specification as: 0.2% of reading + 10 counts. If a dc voltage of 100 V is read on its 200 V full scale, the maximum error that can be expected in the reading is
The two inputs of a CRO are fed with two stationary periodic signals. In the X-Y mode, the screen shows a figure which changes from ellipse to circle and back to ellipse with its major axis changing orientation slowly and repeatedly. The following inference can be made from this.
An average-reading digital multi-meter reads 10 V when fed with a triangular wave, symmetric about the time-axis. For the same input an rms-reading meter will read
Two 8-bit ADCs, one of single slope integrating type and other of successive approximate type, take times to convert 5 V analog input signal to equivalent digital output. If the input analog signal is reduced to 2.5 V, the approximate time taken by the two ADCs will respectively, be
