How close a measurement is to the actual or "true" value.
Instruments are generally categorized by the specific physical quantity they measure:
The smallest increment of input or output that can be discriminated by the device.
The smallest change in the input signal that the instrument can detect and display.
The consistency of results when the same input is measured multiple times under the same conditions.
A "good" measuring instrument is defined by several technical standards that ensure the reliability of its data:
