What does it mean by when they say position resolution is 20% ? Is a lower percentage better or worse?
Position resolution refers to the ability of a measuring device to accurately determine the position of an object. It is measured in percentage because it represents the percentage of error in the measurement compared to the actual position of the object.
Position resolution is calculated by dividing the smallest detectable change in position by the total range of the measuring device. This gives the percentage of error in the measurement.
Yes, a low percentage in position resolution indicates a smaller margin of error in the measurement. This means that the measuring device is more accurate in determining the position of an object.
The quality and precision of the measuring device, environmental conditions, and the size and shape of the object being measured can all affect the position resolution. Other factors such as electronic noise and human error can also impact the accuracy of the measurement.
Position resolution refers to the ability to determine the exact position of an object, while accuracy refers to how close the measured value is to the actual value. A measuring device can have high position resolution but low accuracy if there are other factors causing error in the measurement. Conversely, a device can have low position resolution but high accuracy if the error is consistent and can be accounted for.
