1.2.10. Processing indirect measurements.

With indirect measurements, the desired value of the physical quantity Y found based on the results X 1 , X 2 , … X i , … X n, direct measurements of other physical quantities associated with the desired known functional dependence φ:

Y= φ( X 1 , X 2 , …X i , … X n). (1.43)

Assuming that X 1 , X 2 , … X i , … X n are the corrected results of direct measurements, and the methodological errors of indirect measurements can be neglected, the result of indirect measurements can be found directly by formula (1.43).

If Δ X 1 , Δ X 2 , … Δ X i , … Δ X n– errors in the results of direct measurements of quantities X 1 , X 2 , … X i , … X n, then the error Δ of the result Y indirect measurement in the linear approximation can be found by the formula

Δ = . (1.44)

term

(1.45)

is the error component of the indirect measurement result, caused by the error Δ X i result X i direct measurement - is called a partial error, and the approximate formula (1.44) - the law of accumulation of partial errors. (1K22)

To estimate the error Δ of the result of an indirect measurement, it is necessary to have some information about the errors Δ X 1 , Δ X 2 , … Δ X i , … Δ X n results of direct measurements.

Usually, the limit values ​​of the error components of direct measurements are known. For example, for the error Δ X i known: the limit of the basic error, the limits of additional errors, the limit of non-excluded residuals of the systematic error, etc. Error Δ X i is equal to the sum of these errors:

,

and the limit value of this error ΔX i,p - the sum of the limits:

. (1.46)

Then the limit value Δ p of the error of the result of indirect measurement P = 1 can be found by the formula

Δ p =
. (1.47)

Boundary value Δ g of the error of the result of indirect measurement for the confidence level P = 0.95 can be found using the approximate formula (1.41). Taking into account (1.44) and (1.46), we obtain:

. (1.48)

After calculating Δ p or Δ g, the result of indirect measurement should be written in standard form (respectively, (1.40) or (1.42)). (1P3)

2. METHODS FOR MEASURING ELECTRIC QUANTITIES

2.1. Measurement of voltages and currents.

2.1.1. General information.

When choosing a means of measuring electrical voltages and currents, it is necessary, first of all, to take into account:

Kind of measured physical quantity (voltage or current);

The presence and nature of the dependence of the measured value on time in the observation interval (depends or not, the dependence is a periodic or non-periodic function, etc.);

The range of possible values ​​of the measured value;

Measured parameter (average value, effective value, maximum value in the observation interval, set of instantaneous values ​​in the observation interval, etc.);

Frequency range;

Required measurement accuracy;

The maximum observation time interval.

In addition, it is necessary to take into account the ranges of values ​​of the influencing quantities (ambient air temperature, supply voltage of the measuring instrument, output impedance of the signal source, electromagnetic interference, vibration, humidity, etc.), depending on the conditions of the measurement experiment.

The ranges of possible values ​​of voltages and currents are very wide. For example, currents can be of the order of 10 -16 A when measured in space and of the order of 10 5 A - in the circuits of powerful power plants. This section deals mainly with voltage and current measurements in the most common ranges in practice: from 10 -6 to 10 3 V and from 10 -6 to 10 4 A.

To measure voltages, analog (electromechanical and electronic) and digital voltmeters(2K1), DC and AC compensators (potentiometers), analog and digital oscilloscopes and measuring systems.

For measuring currents, electromechanical ammeters(2K2), as well as multimeters and measuring systems in which the measured current is first converted into a voltage proportional to it. In addition, an indirect method is used to experimentally determine currents, by measuring the voltage caused by the passage of current through a resistor with a known resistance.

2.1.2. Measurement of constant voltages by electromechanical devices.

To create voltmeters use the following measuring mechanisms(2K3): magnetoelectric(2K4), electromagnetic(2K5), electrodynamic(2K6), ferrodynamic(2K7) and electrostatic(2K8).

In a magnetoelectric measuring mechanism, the torque is proportional to the current in the moving coil. To build a voltmeter in series with the coil winding, an additional resistance is included. The measured voltage applied to this series connection is proportional to the current in the winding; therefore, the scale of the instrument can be graduated in units of voltage. The direction of the torque depends on the direction of the current, so pay attention to the polarity of the voltage applied to the voltmeter.

Input impedance R the input of the magnetoelectric voltmeter depends on the final value U to measuring range and total deflection current I on - current in the coil winding, at which the arrow of the device deviates to the full scale (it will be set at the mark U to). It's obvious that

R in = U to / I on. (2.1)

In multi-limit instruments, the value is often normalized R in, and current I on. Knowing the voltage U k for the measurement range used in this experiment, the value R in can be calculated by formula (2.1). For example, for a voltmeter with U k = 100 V and I po = 1 mA R in = 10 5 ohms.

To build electromagnetic, electrodynamic and ferrodynamic voltmeters, a similar circuit is used, only the additional resistance is connected in series with the winding of the fixed coil of the electromagnetic measuring mechanism or with the windings of the moving and fixed coils of the electrodynamic or ferrodynamic measuring mechanisms previously connected in series. The total deflection currents for these measuring mechanisms are usually significantly higher than for the magnetoelectric, so the input resistances of voltmeters are less.

Electrostatic voltmeters use an electrostatic measuring mechanism. The measured voltage is applied between fixed and movable plates isolated from each other. The input resistance is determined by the insulation resistance (about 10 9 ohms).

The most common electromechanical voltmeters with accuracy classes of 0.2. 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 allow you to measure DC voltages in the range from 0.1 to 10 4 V. To measure large voltages (usually more than 10 3 V), use voltage dividers(2K9). To measure voltages less than 0.1 V, magnetoelectric galvanometers(2K10) and devices based on them (for example, photogalvanometric devices), but it is more expedient to use digital voltmeters.

2.1.3. Measurement of direct currents by electromechanical devices.

To create ammeters use the following measuring mechanisms(2K3): magnetoelectric(2K4), electromagnetic(2K5), electrodynamic(2K6) and ferrodynamic(2K7).

In the simplest single-limit ammeters, the measured current circuit consists of a moving coil winding (for a magnetoelectric measuring mechanism), a fixed coil winding (for an electromagnetic measuring mechanism), or moving and fixed coil windings connected in series (for electrodynamic and ferrodynamic measuring mechanisms). Thus, unlike voltmeter circuits, they do not have additional resistances.

Multi-limit ammeters are built on the basis of single-limit ones, using various techniques to reduce sensitivity. For example, passing the measured current through part of the coil winding or including the coil windings in parallel. Shunts are also used - resistors with relatively low resistances, connected in parallel with the windings.

The most common electromechanical ammeters with accuracy classes 0.2. 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 allow you to measure direct currents in the range from 10 -6 to 10 4 A. To measure currents less than 10 -6 A, you can use magnetoelectric galvanometers(2K10) and devices based on them (for example, photogalvanometric devices).

2.1.4. Measurement of alternating currents and voltages

electromechanical devices.

Electromechanical ammeters and voltmeters are used to measure the effective values ​​of periodic currents and voltages. To create them, electromagnetic, electrodynamic and ferrodynamic, as well as electrostatic (only for voltmeters) measuring mechanisms are used. In addition, electromechanical ammeters and voltmeters also include devices based on a magnetoelectric measuring mechanism with AC or voltage to DC converters (rectifiers and thermoelectric devices).

The measuring circuits of electromagnetic, electrodynamic and ferrodynamic ammeters and AC voltmeters practically do not differ from the circuits of similar DC devices. All these devices can be used to measure both direct and alternating currents and voltages.

The instantaneous value of the torque in these devices is determined by the square of the instantaneous value of the current in the coil windings, and the position of the pointer depends on the average value of the torque. Therefore, the device measures the effective (rms) value of the measured periodic current or voltage, regardless of the shape of the curve. The most common ammeters and voltmeters with accuracy classes of 0.2. 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 allow you to measure alternating currents from 10 -4 to 10 2 A and voltages from 0.1 to 600 V in the frequency range from 45 Hz to 5 kHz.

Electrostatic voltmeters can also be used to measure both constant and effective values ​​of alternating voltages, regardless of the shape of the curve, since the instantaneous value of the torque in these devices is determined by the square of the instantaneous value of the measured voltage. The most common voltmeters with accuracy classes 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 allow you to measure alternating voltages from 1 to 10 5 V in the frequency range from 20 Hz to 10 MHz.

Magnetoelectric ammeters and voltmeters designed for operation in DC circuits cannot measure the effective values ​​of alternating currents and voltages. Indeed, the instantaneous value of the torque in these devices is proportional to the instantaneous value of the current in the coil. With a sinusoidal current, the average value of the torque and, accordingly, the instrument reading is zero. If the current in the coil has a constant component, then the reading of the device is proportional to the average value of the current in the coil.

To create AC ammeters and voltmeters based on a magnetoelectric measuring mechanism, AC-to-DC converters based on semiconductor diodes or thermal converters are used. On fig. 2.1 shows one of the possible circuits of the ammeter of the rectifier system, and in fig. 2.2 - thermoelectric.

In the ammeter of the rectifier system, the measured current i(t) straightens and passes through the coil winding of the magnetoelectric measuring mechanism IM. The reading of the device is proportional to the average modulo for the period T current value:

. (2.2)

Meaning I cp is proportional to the effective value of the current, however, the proportionality factor depends on the type of function i(t). All devices of the rectifier system are calibrated in the effective values ​​​​of currents (or voltages) of a sinusoidal form and are not intended for measurements in circuits with currents of arbitrary shape.

In the ammeter of a thermoelectric system, the measured current i(t) passes through the heater of the thermal converter TP. When it is heated, thermo-EMF arises at the free ends of the thermocouple, causing a direct current through the coil winding of the magnetoelectric measuring mechanism of the IM. The value of this current depends non-linearly on the effective value I measured current i(t) and little depends on its shape and spectrum.

Voltmeter circuits of rectifier and thermoelectric systems differ from ammeter circuits by the presence of an additional resistance connected in series to the circuit of the measured current i(t) and acting as a converter of the measured voltage into current.

The most common ammeters and voltmeters of the rectifier system with accuracy classes 1.0 and 1.5 allow you to measure alternating currents from 10 -3 to 10 A and voltages from 1 to 600 V in the frequency range from 45 Hz to 10 kHz.

The most common thermoelectric system ammeters and voltmeters with accuracy classes 1.0 and 1.5 allow measuring alternating currents from 10 -4 to 10 2 A and voltages from 0.1 to 600 V in the frequency range from 1 Hz to 50 MHz.

Usually, devices of rectifier and thermoelectric systems are made multi-range and combined, which allows them to be used to measure both alternating and direct currents and voltages.

2.1.5. DC voltage measurement

Unlike electromechanical analog voltmeters(2K11) electronic voltmeters incorporate voltage amplifiers. The informative parameter of the measured voltage is converted in these devices into direct current in the coil winding of the magnetoelectric measuring mechanism (2K4), the scale of which is calibrated in units of voltage.

The electronic voltmeter amplifier must have a stable gain in a certain frequency range from some lower frequency f n to the top f in. If a f n = 0, then such an amplifier is usually called DC amplifier, what if f n > 0 and the gain is zero at f = 0 – AC amplifier.

A simplified circuit of an electronic DC voltmeter consists of three main components: an input voltage divider (2K9), a DC amplifier connected to its output, and a magnetoelectric voltmeter. A high-resistance voltage divider and a DC amplifier provide a high input impedance of the electronic voltmeter (of the order of 1 MΩ). The division and gain factors can be discretely adjusted, which makes it possible to make multi-range voltmeters. Due to the high gain of electronic voltmeters, a higher sensitivity is provided compared to electromechanical ones.

A feature of DC electronic voltmeters is drift- slow changes in voltmeter readings at a constant measured voltage (1Q14), caused by changes in the parameters of the elements of the DC amplifier circuits. The drift of readings is most significant when measuring low voltages. Therefore, before starting measurements, it is necessary to use special adjusting elements to set the zero reading of the voltmeter with a shorted input.

If an alternating periodic voltage is applied to the voltmeter in question, then, due to the properties of the magnetoelectric measuring mechanism, it will measure the constant component of this voltage, unless the alternating component is too large and the voltmeter amplifier operates in a linear mode.

The most common analog electronic DC voltmeters allow you to measure voltages in the range from 10 -6 to 10 3 V. The values ​​​​of the limits of the basic reduced error depend on the measurement range and are usually ± (0.5 - 5.0)%.

2.1.6. Measurement of alternating voltages

analog electronic voltmeters.

Analog electronic voltmeters are mainly used to measure the effective values ​​of periodic voltages in a wide frequency range.

The main difference between the circuit of an electronic AC voltmeter and the circuit of a DC voltmeter considered above is due to the presence of an additional node in it - a converter of the informative parameter of AC voltage to DC. Such transducers are often referred to as "detectors".

There are detectors of amplitude, modulo average and effective voltage values. The constant voltage at the output of the first is proportional to the amplitude of the voltage at its input, the constant voltage at the output of the second is proportional to the modulo average value of the input voltage, and the third is the effective one.

Each of the three indicated groups of detectors can, in turn, be divided into two groups: detectors with an open entrance and detectors with a closed entrance. For detectors with an open input, the output voltage depends on the DC component of the input voltage, and for detectors with a closed input, it does not. Obviously, if the circuit of an electronic voltmeter has a detector with a closed input or an AC amplifier, then the readings of such a voltmeter do not depend on the constant component of the measured voltage. Such a voltmeter is advantageous to use in cases where only the variable component of the measured voltage carries useful information.

Simplified diagrams of amplitude detectors with open and closed inputs are shown in Figs. 2.3 and 2.4.


When applied to the input of an amplitude detector with an open voltage input u(t) = U m sinωt capacitor is charged to voltage U m, which turns off the diode. At the same time, a constant voltage is maintained at the output of the detector. U m. If you apply an arbitrary voltage to the input, then the capacitor will be charged to the maximum positive value of this voltage.

When applying to the input of an amplitude detector with a closed voltage input u(t) = U m sinωt the capacitor is also charged to voltage U m and the output voltage u(t) = U m + U m sinωt. If such a voltage or a current proportional to it is applied to the coil winding of a magnetoelectric measuring mechanism, then the instrument readings will depend on the constant component of this voltage, equal to U m (2K4). When voltage is applied to the input u(t) = U Wed + U m sinωt, where U Wed– average voltage value u(t) , the capacitor is charged to a voltage U m + U Wed, and the output voltage is set u(t) = U m + U m sinωt, independent of U Wed .

Examples of modulo average and effective voltage detectors were considered in subsection 2.1.4 (Fig. 2.1 and 2.2, respectively).

Amplitude and modulo average detectors are simpler than RMS detectors, but voltmeters based on them can only be used to measure sinusoidal voltages. The fact is that their readings, depending on the type of detector, are proportional to the average modulo or amplitude values ​​of the measured voltage. Therefore, the considered analog electronic voltmeters can be calibrated in effective values ​​only for a certain form of the measured voltage. This is done for the most common - sinusoidal voltage.

The most common analog electronic voltmeters allow you to measure voltages from 10 -6 to 10 3 V in the frequency range from 10 to 10 9 Hz. The values ​​of the limits of the basic reduced error depend on the measurement range and the frequency of the measured voltage and are usually ± (0.5 - 5.0)%.

The method of measurement using electronic voltmeters differs from the method of using electromechanical voltmeters. This is due to the presence in them of electronic amplifiers with DC power supplies, usually operating from the AC mains.


If, however, terminal 6 is connected to the input terminal 1 of the voltmeter and, for example, the voltage is measured U 65 , then the measurement result will be distorted by the interference voltage, the value of which depends on the parameters of the equivalent circuits in Fig. 2.5 and 2.6.

With direct voltage measurement U 54 interference will distort the measurement result, regardless of how the voltmeter is connected. This can be avoided by indirect measurement by measuring the voltages U 64 and U 65 and calculated U 54 = U 64 - U 65 . However, the accuracy of such a measurement may not be high enough, especially if U 64 ≈ U 65 . (2K12)

in the numerical solution of algebraic equations - the total effect of roundings made at individual steps of the computational process on the accuracy of the resulting solution of a linear algebraic equation. systems. The most common method for a priori estimation of the total influence of roundoff errors in numerical methods of linear algebra is the so-called scheme. reverse analysis. As applied to the solution of a system of linear algebraic equations, the reverse analysis scheme is as follows. The solution xy calculated by the direct method does not satisfy (1), but can be represented as an exact solution of the perturbed system. The quality of the direct method is estimated by the best a priori estimate that can be given for the matrix and vector norms. Such "best" and called. respectively, by the matrix and vector of the equivalent perturbation for the method M. If estimates for and are available, then theoretically the error of the approximate solution can be estimated by the inequality Here is the condition number of the matrix A, and the matrix norm in (3) is assumed to be subordinate to the vector norm. , and the main meaning of (2) is the ability to compare the quality of different methods. Below is a view of some typical estimates for the matrix For methods with orthogonal transformations and floating-point arithmetic (in system (1) A and b are considered valid) In this estimate, the relative accuracy of arithmetic. operations in a computer, is the Euclidean matrix norm, f (n) is a function of the form, where n is the order of the system. The exact values ​​of the constant C of the exponent k are determined by such details of the computational process as the method of rounding, the use of the accumulation of scalar products, etc. Most often, k=1 or 3/2. In the case of Gauss-type methods, the right side of estimate (4) also includes a factor that reflects the possibility of growth of the elements of the matrix Ana at intermediate steps of the method compared to the initial level (such growth is absent in orthogonal methods). To reduce the value, various methods of choosing the leading element are used, preventing the increase in the elements of the matrix. For the square root of the method, which is usually used in the case of a positive definite matrix A, the strongest estimate is obtained. In these cases, in the study of N. p., other considerations are also applied (see -). Lit.: Givens W., "TJ. S. Atomic Energy Commiss. Repts. Ser. OR NL", 1954, no. 1574; Wilkinson J. H., Rounding errors in algebraic processes, L., 1963; Wilkinson J.
Stable methods are characterized by an increase in error as The error of such methods is usually estimated as follows. An equation is constructed with respect to the perturbation introduced either by rounding off or by the errors of the method, and then the solution of this equation is investigated (see , ). In more complex cases, the method of equivalent perturbations (see , ) is used, developed in relation to the problem of studying the accumulation of computational errors in solving differential equations (see , , ). Calculations according to some calculation scheme with roundings are considered as calculations without roundings, but for an equation with perturbed coefficients. By comparing the solution of the original grid equation with the solution of the equation with perturbed coefficients, an error estimate is obtained. Considerable attention is paid to the choice of a method with, if possible, smaller values ​​of q and A(h). With a fixed method for solving the problem, the calculation formulas can usually be converted to the form where (see , ). This is especially important in the case of ordinary differential equations, where the number of steps in some cases turns out to be very large. The value of (h) can grow strongly with an increase in the interval of integration. Therefore, they try to apply methods with a smaller value of A(h) whenever possible. In the case of the Cauchy problem, the rounding error at each specific step with respect to subsequent steps can be considered as an error in the initial condition. Therefore, the infimum (h) depends on the characteristic of the divergence of close solutions of the differential equation defined by the variational equation. In the case of a numerical solution of an ordinary differential equation, the equation in variations has the form and therefore, when solving the problem on the interval (x 0, X), one cannot rely on the constant A (h) in the majorant estimate of the computational error, which is significantly better than methods of the Runge-Kutta type or methods of the Adams type (see , ), where the N. p. is mainly determined by the solution of the equation in variations. For a number of methods, the main term of the method error accumulates according to a similar law, while the computational error accumulates much faster (see ). Practical area applicability of such methods turns out to be significantly narrower. The accumulation of the computational error essentially depends on the method used to solve the grid problem. For example, when solving grid boundary value problems corresponding to ordinary differential equations, the shooting and sweep methods of N. n. has the character A(h)h-q, where q is the same. The values ​​of A(h) for these methods may differ so much that in a certain situation one of the methods becomes inapplicable. When solving the grid boundary value problem for the Laplace equation by the shooting method, the N. p. In a probabilistic approach to the study of N. p., in some cases, some law of error distribution is a priori assumed (see ), in other cases, a measure is introduced on the space of the problems under consideration, and, based on this measure, the rounding error distribution law is obtained (see , ). With moderate accuracy in the solution of the problem, majorant and probabilistic approaches to estimating the accumulation of computational errors usually give qualitatively the same results: either in both cases, the N.P. occurs within acceptable limits, or in both cases, the N.P. exceeds such limits.

Under the measurement error we mean the totality of all measurement errors.

Measurement errors can be classified into the following types:

absolute and relative,

positive and negative,

constant and proportional,

Random and systematic

Absolute error BUT y) is defined as the difference between the following values:

BUT y = y i- y ist.  y i- y,

where: y i is a single measurement result; y ist. – true measurement result; y– arithmetic mean value of the measurement result (hereinafter, the average).

Permanent is called the absolute error, which does not depend on the value of the measured quantity ( yy).

Error proportional , if the named dependency exists. The nature of the measurement error (constant or proportional) is determined after special studies.

Relative error single measurement result ( AT y) is calculated as the ratio of the following quantities:

It follows from this formula that the magnitude of the relative error depends not only on the magnitude of the absolute error, but also on the value of the measured quantity. When the measured value remains unchanged ( y) the relative measurement error can be reduced only by reducing the magnitude of the absolute error ( BUT y). When the absolute measurement error is constant, to reduce the relative measurement error, you can use the method of increasing the value of the measured quantity.

The sign of the error (positive or negative) is determined by the difference between the single and the obtained (arithmetic mean) measurement result:

y i- y> 0 (error is positive );

y i- y< 0 (error is negative ).

Gross mistake measurement (miss) occurs when the measurement procedure is violated. A measurement result containing a gross error usually differs significantly in magnitude from other results. The presence of gross measurement errors in the sample is established only by methods of mathematical statistics (with the number of measurement repetitions n>2). Get acquainted with the methods for detecting gross errors yourself in.

To random errors include errors that do not have a constant value and sign. Such errors occur under the influence of the following factors: unknown to the researcher; known but unregulated; constantly changing.

Random errors can only be estimated after measurements have been taken.

The following parameters can be used as a quantitative estimate of the modulus of the magnitude of a random measurement error: the sample variance of single values ​​and the mean value; sample absolute standard deviations of single values ​​and the mean; sample relative standard deviations of single values ​​and the mean; general variance of unit values ​​), respectively, etc.

Random measurement errors cannot be excluded, they can only be reduced. One of the main ways to reduce the amount of random measurement error is to increase the number (sample size) of single measurements (increase in the value n). This is explained by the fact that the magnitude of random errors is inversely proportional to the magnitude n, for example:

.

Systematic errors are errors with constant magnitude and sign or varying according to a known law. These errors are caused by constant factors. Systematic errors can be quantified, reduced, and even eliminated.

Systematic errors are classified into types I, II and III errors.

To systematic errorsItype refer to errors of known origin, which can be estimated by calculation prior to the measurement. These errors can be eliminated by introducing them into the measurement result in the form of corrections. An example of this type of error is the error in the titrimetric determination of the volume concentration of a solution if the titrant was prepared at one temperature, and the concentration was measured at another. Knowing the dependence of the density of the titrant on temperature, it is possible to calculate the change in the volume concentration of the titrant associated with a change in its temperature before the measurement, and take this difference into account as a correction as a result of the measurement.

SystematicmistakesIItype are errors of known origin that can only be assessed during an experiment or as a result of special studies. This type of error includes instrumental (instrumental), reactive, reference, and other errors. Get acquainted with the features of such errors yourself in.

Any device, when used in the measurement procedure, introduces its instrumental errors into the measurement result. At the same time, some of these errors are random, and the other part is systematic. Random instrument errors are not evaluated separately, they are evaluated together with all other random measurement errors.

Each instance of any instrument has its own personal systematic error. In order to evaluate this error, it is necessary to conduct special studies.

The most reliable way to assess type II instrumental systematic error is to check instrument performance against standards. For measuring utensils (pipette, burette, cylinders, etc.) a special procedure is carried out - calibration.

In practice, most often it is required not to estimate, but to reduce or eliminate type II systematic error. The most common methods for reducing systematic errors are relativization and randomization methods.Check out these methods yourself at .

To mistakesIIItype include errors of unknown origin. These errors can only be detected after all type I and II systematic errors have been eliminated.

To other mistakes we will include all other types of errors not considered above (admissible, possible marginal errors, etc.).

The concept of possible marginal errors is used in cases of using measuring instruments and assumes the maximum possible instrumental measurement error (the actual value of the error may be less than the value of the possible marginal error).

When using measuring instruments, it is possible to calculate the possible absolute limit (
) or relative (
) measurement error. So, for example, the possible limiting absolute measurement error is found as the sum of possible limiting random (
) and non-excluded systematic (
) errors:

=
+

For small samples ( n20) of an unknown general population obeying the normal distribution law, random possible marginal measurement errors can be estimated as follows:

= =

where: is the confidence interval for the corresponding probability R;

is the quantile of the Student distribution for the probability R and sample size n or with the number of degrees of freedom f = n – 1.

The absolute possible limiting measurement error in this case will be equal to:

=
+
.

If the measurement results do not obey the normal distribution law, then the error is estimated using other formulas.

Quantity definition

If the components of the absolute systematic error of the arithmetic mean of the measurement result are known (for example, instrumental error, method error, etc.), then it can be estimated by the formula

In order for the total measurement error to be determined only by systematic errors, the number of repeated measurements is increased. The minimum number of repeated measurements required for this ( n min) can only be calculated with a known value of the general population of single results using the formula

.

The evaluation of measurement errors depends not only on the conditions of measurement, but also on the type of measurement (direct or indirect).

The division of measurements into direct and indirect is rather conditional. Later, under direct measurements we will understand measurements, the values ​​of which are taken directly from experimental data, for example, they are read from the scale of the device (a well-known example of direct measurement is temperature measurement with a thermometer). To indirect measurements we will attribute those, the result of which is obtained on the basis of a known relationship between the desired value and the values ​​determined as a result of direct measurements. Wherein result indirect measurement received by calculation as function value , whose arguments are the results of direct measurements ( x 1 ,x 2 , …,x j,. …, x k).

It is necessary to know that the errors of indirect measurements are always greater than the errors of individual direct measurements.

Errors of indirect measurements are estimated according to the corresponding laws of error accumulation (with k2).

Law of Accumulation of Random Errors indirect measurements is as follows:

The law of accumulation of possible limiting absolute systematic errors indirect measurements is represented by the following dependencies:

The law of accumulation of possible limiting relative systematic errors indirect measurements has the following form:

Measurement errors and errors determine their accuracy, reproducibility and correctness.

Accuracy the higher, the smaller the measurement error.

Reproducibility measurement results improves with a decrease in random measurement errors.

Right of the measurement result increases with a decrease in the residual systematic measurement errors.

Learn more about the theory of measurement errors and their features yourself. I draw your attention to the fact that modern forms of presentation of the final results of measurements necessarily require the reduction of errors or measurement errors (secondary data). In this case, measurement errors and errors should be presented numbers which contain no more two significant digits .

What is "ACCUMULATION OF ERROR"? What is the correct spelling of this word. Concept and interpretation.

CUMULATION OF ERROR in the numerical solution of algebraic equations - the total effect of roundings made at individual steps of the computational process on the accuracy of the resulting solution of a linear algebraic equation. systems. The most common method for a priori estimation of the total influence of roundoff errors in numerical methods of linear algebra is the so-called scheme. reverse analysis. As applied to the solution of a system of linear algebraic equations, the reverse analysis scheme is as follows. The solution xy calculated by the direct method does not satisfy (1), but can be represented as an exact solution of the perturbed system. The quality of the direct method is estimated by the best a priori estimate that can be given for the matrix and vector norms. Such "best" and called. respectively, by the matrix and vector of the equivalent perturbation for the method M. If estimates for and are available, then theoretically the error of the approximate solution can be estimated by the inequality Here is the condition number of the matrix A, and the matrix norm in (3) is assumed to be subordinate to the vector norm. , and the main meaning of (2) is the ability to compare the quality of different methods. Below is a view of some typical estimates for the matrix For methods with orthogonal transformations and floating-point arithmetic (in system (1) A and b are considered valid) In this estimate, the relative accuracy of arithmetic. operations in a computer, is the Euclidean matrix norm, f (n) is a function of the form, where n is the order of the system. The exact values ​​of the constant C of the exponent k are determined by such details of the computational process as the method of rounding, the use of the accumulation of scalar products, etc. Most often, k=1 or 3/2. In the case of Gauss-type methods, the right side of estimate (4) also includes a factor that reflects the possibility of growth of the elements of the matrix Ana at intermediate steps of the method compared to the initial level (such growth is absent in orthogonal methods). To reduce the value, various methods of choosing the leading element are used, preventing the increase in the elements of the matrix. For the square root of the method, which is usually used in the case of a positive definite matrix A, the strongest estimate is obtained. In these cases, in the study of N. p., other considerations are also applied (see -). Lit.: Givens W., "TJ. S. Atomic Energy Commiss. Repts. Ser. OR NL", 1954, No. 1574; Wilkinson J.

N. p. rounding off or method errors arise when solving problems where the solution is the result of a large number of sequentially performed arithmetic operations. Significant some of these problems are connected with the solution of algebraic problems, linear or nonlinear (see above). In turn, among algebraic problems, the most common problems arise in the approximation of differential equations. These problems are characterized by certain specific features. method of solving a problem follows the same or simpler laws as the NI of computational error; computational errors at each step are introduced in the most unfavorable way and receive a majorant error estimate.In the second case, these errors are considered to be random with a certain distribution law division. The nature of the N. p. depends on the problem being solved, the method of solution, and a number of other factors that at first glance may seem insignificant; this includes the form of writing numbers in a computer (fixed-point or floating-point), the order of execution of arithmetic. operations, etc. For example, in the problem of calculating the sum of N numbers, the order in which operations are performed is essential. Let the calculations be performed on a floating point machine with t bits and all numbers lie within. When directly calculated using the recursive formula, the majorant error estimate is of the order of 2-tN. You can do otherwise (see). When calculating pairwise sums (if N=2l+1 is odd) it is assumed. Then, their pairwise sums are calculated, and so on. After the steps of forming the pairwise sums, the formulas give a majorant estimate of the order error. in these cases, the application of the described technique leads to an increase in the load on the computer memory. However, it is possible to organize a sequence of calculations so that the RAM load does not exceed -log2N cells. In the numerical solution of differential equations, the following cases are possible. As the grid step h tends to zero, the error grows as where. Such methods for solving problems are classified as unstable. Their use is episodic. character. Stable methods are characterized by an increase in error as The error of such methods is usually estimated as follows. An equation is constructed with respect to the perturbation introduced either by rounding off or by the errors of the method, and then the solution of this equation is investigated (see , ). In more complex cases, the method of equivalent perturbations (see , ) is used, developed in relation to the problem of studying the accumulation of computational errors in solving differential equations (see , , ). Calculations according to some calculation scheme with roundings are considered as calculations without roundings, but for an equation with perturbed coefficients. By comparing the solution of the original grid equation with the solution of the equation with perturbed coefficients, an error estimate is obtained. Considerable attention is paid to the choice of a method with, if possible, smaller values ​​of q and A(h). With a fixed method for solving the problem, the calculation formulas can usually be converted to the form where (see , ). This is especially important in the case of ordinary differential equations, where the number of steps in some cases turns out to be very large. The value of (h) can grow strongly with an increase in the interval of integration. Therefore, they try to apply methods with a smaller value of A(h) whenever possible. In the case of the Cauchy problem, the rounding error at each specific step with respect to subsequent steps can be considered as an error in the initial condition. Therefore, the infimum (h) depends on the characteristic of the divergence of close solutions of the differential equation defined by the variational equation. In the case of a numerical solution of an ordinary differential equation, the equation in variations has the form and therefore, when solving the problem on the interval (x 0, X), one cannot rely on the constant A (h) in the majorant estimate of the computational error, which is significantly better than methods of the Runge-Kutta type or methods of the Adams type (see , ), where the N. p. is mainly determined by the solution of the equation in variations. For a number of methods, the leading term of the method error accumulates according to a similar law, while the computational error accumulates much faster (see Fig. ). Practical area applicability of such methods turns out to be significantly narrower. The accumulation of the computational error essentially depends on the method used to solve the grid problem. For example, in solving grid boundary value problems corresponding to ordinary differential equations using the shooting and sweep methods, the N. p. has the character A(h)h-q, where q is the same. The values ​​of A(h) for these methods may differ so much that in a certain situation one of the methods becomes inapplicable. When solving the grid boundary value problem for the Laplace equation by the shooting method, the N. p. In a probabilistic approach to the study of N. p., in some cases, some law of error distribution is a priori assumed (see ), in other cases, a measure is introduced on the space of the problems under consideration, and, based on this measure, the rounding error distribution law is obtained (see , ). With moderate accuracy in the solution of the problem, majorant and probabilistic approaches to estimating the accumulation of computational errors usually give qualitatively the same results: either in both cases, the N.P. occurs within acceptable limits, or in both cases, the N.P. exceeds such limits.

INTRODUCTION

Any measurements, no matter how carefully they are performed, are accompanied by errors (errors), i.e., deviations of the measured values ​​from their true value. This is explained by the fact that in the process of measurement conditions are constantly changing: the state of the environment, the measuring device and the object being measured, as well as the attention of the performer. Therefore, when measuring a quantity, its approximate value is always obtained, the accuracy of which must be estimated. Another problem also arises: to choose an instrument, conditions and technique in order to perform measurements with a given accuracy. The theory of errors helps to solve these problems, which studies the laws of distribution of errors, establishes evaluation criteria and tolerances for measurement accuracy, methods for determining the most probable value of the quantity being determined, and rules for predicting the expected accuracy.

12.1. MEASUREMENTS AND THEIR CLASSIFICATION

Measurement is the process of comparing a measured value with another known value, taken as a unit of measurement.
All quantities with which we are dealing are divided into measured and calculated. measured the value is called its approximate value, found by comparison with a homogeneous unit of measure. So, sequentially laying the survey tape in a given direction and counting the number of layings, they find the approximate value of the length of the section.
Computed a quantity is its value determined from other measured quantities that are functionally related to it. For example, the area of ​​a rectangular area is the product of its measured length and width.
To detect misses (gross errors) and improve the accuracy of the results, the same value is measured several times. By accuracy, such measurements are divided into equal and unequal. Equivalent - homogeneous multiple measurement results of the same quantity, performed by the same instrument (or different instruments of the same accuracy class), in the same way and in the same number of steps, under identical conditions. unequal - measurements made in case of non-compliance with the conditions of equal accuracy.
In the mathematical processing of measurement results, the number of measured values ​​is of great importance. For example, to get the value of each angle of a triangle, it is enough to measure only two of them - this will be necessary number of values. In the general case, to solve any topographic-geodesic problem, it is necessary to measure a certain minimum number of quantities that ensures the solution of the problem. They are called the number of required quantities or measurements. But in order to judge the quality of the measurements, check their correctness and improve the accuracy of the result, the third angle of the triangle is also measured - excess . The number of redundant values (k ) is the difference between the number of all measured quantities ( P ) and the number of required quantities ( t ):

k = n - t

In topographic and geodetic practice, redundant measured values ​​are indispensable. They make it possible to detect errors (errors) in measurements and calculations and increase the accuracy of the determined values.

By physical performance measurements can be direct, indirect and remote.
Direct measurements are the simplest and historically the first types of measurements, for example, measuring the lengths of lines with a survey tape or tape measure.
Indirect measurements are based on the use of certain mathematical relationships between the sought and directly measured quantities. For example, the area of ​​a rectangle on the ground is determined by measuring the lengths of its sides.
remote measurements are based on the use of a number of physical processes and phenomena and, as a rule, are associated with the use of modern technical means: light range finders, electronic total stations, phototheodolites, etc.

Measuring instruments used in topographic and geodetic production can be divided into three main classes :

  • high-precision (precision);
  • accurate;
  • technical.

12.2. MEASUREMENT ERRORS

With repeated measurement of the same value, each time slightly different results are obtained, both in absolute value and in signs, no matter how experienced the performer has and no matter what high-precision instruments he uses.
Errors are distinguished: gross, systematic and random.
Appearance rough errors ( misses ) is associated with serious errors in the production of measurement work. These errors are easily identified and eliminated as a result of measurement control.
Systematic errors are included in each measurement result according to a strictly defined law. They are due to the influence of the design of measuring instruments, errors in the calibration of their scales, wear, etc. ( instrumental errors) or arise due to underestimation of the measurement conditions and the patterns of their changes, the approximation of some formulas, etc. ( methodological errors). Systematic errors are divided into permanent (invariant in sign and magnitude) and variables (changing their value from one dimension to another according to a certain law).
Such errors are predetermined and can be reduced to the required minimum by introducing appropriate corrections.
For example, the influence of the curvature of the Earth on the accuracy of determining vertical distances, the influence of air temperature and atmospheric pressure can be taken into account in advance when determining the lengths of lines with light range finders or electronic total stations, the influence of atmospheric refraction can be taken into account in advance, etc.
If gross errors are not allowed and systematic errors are eliminated, then the quality of measurements will be determined only random errors. These errors are unavoidable, but their behavior is subject to the laws of large numbers. They can be analyzed, controlled and reduced to the necessary minimum.
To reduce the influence of random errors on the measurement results, they resort to repeated measurements, to improve working conditions, choose more advanced instruments, measurement methods and carry out their careful production.
Comparing the series of random errors of equally accurate measurements, it can be found that they have the following properties:
a) for a given type and measurement conditions, random errors cannot exceed a certain limit in absolute value;
b) errors that are small in absolute value appear more often than large ones;
c) positive errors appear as often as negative ones equal in absolute value;
d) the arithmetic mean of random errors of the same value tends to zero with an unlimited increase in the number of measurements.
The distribution of errors corresponding to the specified properties is called normal (Fig. 12.1).

Rice. 12.1. Curve of normal distribution of Gaussian random errors

The difference between the measurement result of some quantity ( l) and its true meaning ( X) called absolute (true) error .

Δ = l - X

The true (absolutely accurate) value of the measured quantity cannot be obtained, even using the highest accuracy instruments and the most advanced measurement technique. Only in some cases can the theoretical value of the quantity be known. The accumulation of errors leads to the formation of discrepancies between the measurement results and their actual values.
The difference between the sum of practically measured (or calculated) values ​​and its theoretical value is called inviscid. For example, the theoretical sum of the angles in a flat triangle is 180º, and the sum of the measured angles turned out to be 180º02"; then the error of the sum of the measured angles will be +0º02". This error will be the angular discrepancy of the triangle.
Absolute error is not a complete indicator of the accuracy of the work performed. For example, if some line whose actual length is 1000 m, measured with a survey tape with an error of 0.5 m, and a segment of length 200 m- with an error of 0.2 m, then, despite the fact that the absolute error of the first measurement is greater than the second, the first measurement was nevertheless performed with an accuracy twice as high. Therefore, the concept is introduced relative errors:

The ratio of the absolute error of the measured valueΔ to the measured valuelcalled relative error.

Relative errors are always expressed as a fraction with a numerator equal to one (aliquot fraction). So, in the above example, the relative error of the first measurement is

and the second

12.3 MATHEMATICAL PROCESSING OF THE RESULTS OF EQUAL-ACCURACY MEASUREMENTS OF A SINGLE VALUE

Let some quantity with true value X measured equally n times and the results are: l 1 , l 2 , l 3 ,li (i = 1, 2, 3, … n), which is often referred to as a series of measurements. It is required to find the most reliable value of the measured quantity, which is called most likely , and evaluate the accuracy of the result.
In the theory of errors, the most probable value for a series of equally accurate measurement results is average , i.e.

(12.1)

In the absence of systematic errors, the arithmetic mean with an unlimited increase in the number of measurements tends to the true value of the measured value.
To enhance the influence of larger errors on the result of estimating the accuracy of a series of measurements, one uses root mean square error (UPC). If the true value of the measured quantity is known, and the systematic error is negligible, then the root mean square error ( m ) of a single result of equally accurate measurements is determined by the Gauss formula:

m = (12.2) ,

where Δ i is true error.

In geodetic practice, the true value of the measured quantity in most cases is not known in advance. Then the root-mean-square error of a single measurement result is calculated from the most probable errors ( δ ) individual measurement results ( l i ); according to the Bessel formula:

m = (12.3)

Where are the most likely errors ( δ i ) are defined as the deviation of the measurement results from the arithmetic mean

δ i = l i - µ

Often, next to the most probable value of a quantity, its root-mean-square error is also written ( m), e.g. 70°05" ± 1". This means that the exact value of the angle can be more or less than the specified value by 1 ". However, this minute cannot be added to the angle or subtracted from it. It characterizes only the accuracy of obtaining results under given measurement conditions.

An analysis of the Gaussian normal distribution curve shows that with a sufficiently large number of measurements of the same value, the random measurement error can be:

  • greater than rms m in 32 cases out of 100;
  • greater than twice the root mean square 2m in 5 cases out of 100;
  • more than three times the root mean square 3m in 3 cases out of 1000.

It is unlikely that the random measurement error is greater than three times the root mean square, so tripled root mean square error is considered limiting:

Δ prev. = 3m

The marginal error is such a value of random error, the occurrence of which under the given measurement conditions is unlikely.

The root mean square error is also taken as the limiting error, equal to

Δprev = 2.5m ,

With an error probability of about 1%.

RMS error of the sum of the measured values

The square of the mean square error of the algebraic sum of the argument is equal to the sum of the squares of the mean square errors of the terms

m S 2 = m 1 2+m 2 2+m 3 2 + ..... + m n 2

In the particular case when m 1 = m 2 = m 3 = m n= m to determine the root mean square error of the arithmetic mean, use the formula

m S =

The root mean square error of the algebraic sum of equal measurements is several times greater than the root mean square error of one term.

Example.
If 9 angles are measured with a 30-second theodolite, then the root mean square error of the angle measurements will be

m coal = 30 " = ±1.5"

RMS error of the arithmetic mean
(accuracy of determining the arithmetic mean)

RMS error of the arithmetic mean (mµ )times less than the root mean square of one measurement.
This property of the root mean square error of the arithmetic mean allows you to improve the accuracy of measurements by increasing the number of measurements .

For example, it is required to determine the value of the angle with an accuracy of ± 15 seconds in the presence of a 30-second theodolite.

If you measure the angle 4 times ( n) and determine the arithmetic mean, then the root mean square error of the arithmetic mean ( mµ ) will be ± 15 seconds.

The root mean square error of the arithmetic mean ( m µ ) shows to what extent the influence of random errors is reduced during repeated measurements.

Example
A 5-fold measurement of the length of one line was made.
Based on the measurement results, calculate: the most probable value of its length L(average); probable errors (deviations from the arithmetic mean); root mean square error of one measurement m; accuracy of determining the arithmetic mean , and the most probable value of the line length, taking into account the root-mean-square error of the arithmetic mean ( L).

12.4. WEIGHTS OF THE RESULTS OF UNEQUAL MEASUREMENTS

With unequal measurements, when the results of each measurement cannot be considered equally reliable, it is no longer possible to get by with the definition of a simple arithmetic mean. In such cases, the merit (or reliability) of each measurement result is taken into account.
The dignity of the measurement results is expressed by a certain number called the weight of this measurement. . Obviously, the arithmetic average will carry more weight than a single measurement, and measurements made with a more advanced and accurate instrument will have a greater degree of confidence than the same measurements made with a less accurate instrument.
Since the measurement conditions determine a different value of the root-mean-square error, it is customary to take the latter as basics of estimating weight values, measurements. In this case, the weights of the measurement results are taken inversely proportional to the squares of their corresponding root-mean-square errors .
So, if denoted by R and R measurement weights having root-mean-square errors, respectively m and µ , then we can write the proportionality relation:

For example, if µ the root mean square error of the arithmetic mean, and m- respectively, one dimension, then, as follows from

can be written:

i.e. the weight of the arithmetic mean in n times the weight of a single measurement.

Similarly, it can be found that the weight of an angle measurement made with a 15-second theodolite is four times the weight of an angle measurement made with a 30-second instrument.

In practical calculations, the weight of any one quantity is usually taken as a unit, and under this condition, the weights of the remaining measurements are calculated. So, in the last example, if we take the weight of the result of an angular measurement with a 30-second theodolite as R= 1, then the weight value of the measurement result with a 15-second theodolite will be R = 4.

12.5. REQUIREMENTS FOR FORMATTING THE RESULTS OF FIELD MEASUREMENTS AND THEIR PROCESSING

All materials of geodetic measurements consist of field documentation, as well as documentation of computational and graphic works. Many years of experience in the production of geodetic measurements and their processing allowed us to develop the rules for maintaining this documentation.

Registration of field documents

Field documents include materials for checking geodetic instruments, measurement logs and special forms, outlines, picket logs. All field documentation is considered valid only in the original. It is compiled in a single copy and, in case of loss, can be restored only by repeated measurements, which is practically not always possible.

The rules for keeping field logs are as follows.

1. Field journals should be filled out carefully, all numbers and letters should be written clearly and legibly.
2. Correction of numbers and their erasure, as well as writing numbers by numbers are not allowed.
3. Erroneous records of readings are crossed out with one line and “erroneous” or “misprint” is indicated on the right, and the correct results are inscribed on top.
4. All entries in the journals are made with a simple pencil of medium hardness, ink or a ballpoint pen; the use of chemical or colored pencils for this is not recommended.
5. When performing each type of geodetic survey, records of the measurement results are made in the appropriate journals of the established form. Before the start of work, the pages of the magazines are numbered and their number is certified by the head of the work.
6. In the process of field work, pages with rejected measurement results are crossed out diagonally with one line, the reason for the rejection and the number of the page containing the results of repeated measurements are indicated.
7. In each journal, on the title page, fill in information about the geodetic instrument (brand, number, standard error of measurement), record the date and time of observations, weather conditions (weather, visibility, etc.), names of performers, provide the necessary schemes, formulas and notes.
8. The journal must be filled in in such a way that another performer who is not involved in field work can accurately perform the subsequent processing of the measurement results. When filling out field journals, the following entry forms should be followed:
a) the numbers in the columns are written so that all the digits of the corresponding digits are located one below the other without offset.
b) all results of measurements performed with the same accuracy are recorded with the same number of decimal places.

Example
356.24 and 205.60 m - correct,
356.24 and 205.6 m - wrong;
c) the values ​​of minutes and seconds in angular measurements and calculations are always written in two-digit numbers.

Example
127°07"05 " , not 127º7"5 " ;

d) in the numerical values ​​of the measurement results, write down such a number of digits that allows you to get the reading device of the corresponding measuring instrument. For example, if the length of the line is measured with a tape measure with millimeter divisions and the reading is carried out with an accuracy of 1 mm, then the reading should be recorded as 27.400 m, not 27.4 m. Or if the goniometer only allows reading whole minutes, then the reading will be written as 47º00 " , not 47º or 47º00"00".

12.5.1. The concept of the rules of geodetic calculations

The processing of the measurement results is started after checking all field materials. At the same time, one should adhere to the rules and techniques developed by practice, the observance of which facilitates the work of the calculator and allows him to rationally use computer technology and auxiliary means.
1. Before processing the results of geodetic measurements, a detailed computational scheme should be developed, which indicates the sequence of actions that allows obtaining the desired result in the simplest and fastest way.
2. Taking into account the amount of computational work, choose the most optimal means and methods of calculations that require the least cost while ensuring the required accuracy.
3. The accuracy of the calculation results cannot be higher than the measurement accuracy. Therefore, sufficient, but not excessive, accuracy of computational operations should be specified in advance.
4. When calculating, one should not use drafts, since rewriting digital material takes a lot of time and is often accompanied by errors.
5. To record the results of calculations, it is recommended to use special schemes, forms and statements that determine the procedure for calculations and provide intermediate and general control.
6. Without control, the calculation cannot be considered complete. Control can be performed using a different move (method) for solving the problem or by performing repeated calculations by another performer (in "two hands").
7. Calculations always end with the determination of errors and their mandatory comparison with the tolerances provided for by the relevant instructions.
8. Special requirements for computational work are imposed on the accuracy and clarity of recording numbers in computational forms, since carelessness in entries leads to errors.
As in field journals, when writing columns of numbers in computational schemes, digits of the same digits should be placed one under the other. In this case, the fractional part of the number is separated by a comma; it is desirable to write multi-digit numbers at intervals, for example: 2 560 129.13. Calculation records should be kept only in ink, in roman type; erroneous results are carefully crossed out and the corrected values ​​​​are written on top.
When processing measurement materials, one should know with what accuracy the results of calculations should be obtained in order not to operate with an excessive number of characters; if the final result of the calculation is obtained with more digits than necessary, then the numbers are rounded off.

12.5.2. Rounding numbers

Round up to n signs - means to keep in it the first n significant digits.
The significant digits of a number are all of its digits from the first non-zero digit on the left to the last digit written on the right. In this case, zeros on the right are not considered significant figures if they replace unknown figures or are put in place of other figures when rounding a given number.
For example, the number 0.027 has two significant digits, and the number 139.030 has six significant digits.

When rounding numbers, the following rules should be followed.
1. If the first of the discarded digits (counting from left to right) is less than 5, then the last remaining digit is retained unchanged.
For example, the number 145.873, after rounding to five significant digits, would be 145.87.
2. If the first of the discarded digits is greater than 5, then the last remaining digit is increased by one.
For example, the number 73.5672, after rounding it to four significant digits, will be 73.57.
3. If the last digit of the rounded number is the number 5 and it must be discarded, then the digit preceding it in the number is increased by one only if it is odd (even number rule).
For example, the numbers 45.175 and 81.325, after rounding to 0.01, will be 45.18 and 81.32, respectively.

12.5.3. Graphic works

The value of graphic materials (plans, maps and profiles), which are the final result of geodetic surveys, is largely determined not only by the accuracy of field measurements and the correctness of their computational processing, but also by the quality of graphic execution. Graphic work should be carried out using carefully checked drawing tools: rulers, triangles, geodesic protractors, measuring compasses, sharpened pencils (T and TM), etc. The organization of the workplace has a great influence on the quality and productivity of drawing work. Drawing work should be carried out on sheets of high-quality drawing paper, fixed on a flat table or on a special drawing board. The drawn pencil original of the graphic document, after careful checking and correction, is drawn up in ink in accordance with the established conventional signs.
