Explain the difference between accuracy, precision, and resolution in the context of process instrumentation.
Accuracy, precision, and resolution are three distinct but related concepts in the context of process instrumentation. Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true value of the quantity being measured. A highly accurate instrument provides measurements that are close to the actual value, with minimal systematic error. Systematic error is a consistent error that always occurs in the same direction. For example, a temperature sensor that consistently reads 2 degrees Celsius higher than the actual temperature has a system....
