Binary Addition and Subtraction

The addition and subtraction of the binary number system are similar to that of the decimal number system. The only difference is that the decimal number system consists the digit from 0-9 and their base is 10 whereas the binary number system consists only two digits (0 and 1) which make their operation easier. The …

Static Error

Definition: A static error is defined as the difference between the measured value and the true value of the quantity. The true value is the exact value of the measurement which is impossible to obtain. Hence the approximate true value of the measurement should be taken into consideration. The accuracy is the most important characteristic …

Time Base Generator

Definition: The generator which is used for generating the linear variable voltage concerning time is known as the time base generator. These waves are used in cathode ray tube for deflecting the beam in a horizontal direction. The time base generator is also used in a radar system for determining the range of the target. The oscilloscope …
