Quantitative evaluation

Rigorous quantification of resolution error would require a lengthy (and expensive) analysis. Fortunately, in practice, the following considerations come in favor:

• the “limitation to resolution” of highest value makes all others “unresolvable”, so it is sufficient to find this one to know the resolution error of the measurement system;
• for a certain application, the limitations that can be significant are few and always the same;
• the empirical control on the field, during the execution of the measures, highlights which can be the resolution error of the measuring system.
• Below are some useful rules for the evaluation of the resolution error.
