... is very hard to detect and includes things like zero error, which are constant throughout the experiment. They do not really alter the results. Rather they tend to move the whole data and the values are not affected singularly. Good sensors should have as little systematic error as possible. However today there are 'smart' systems which process information to compensate for systematic error. Handling data: The data gotten from a good sensor must be adequately processed often with appropriate averaging, analyzed and displayed effectively so that it is generally comprehensible. Creativity: It should be creative, experimental, spontaneous even! These factors were taken into consideration in creating this temperature system. The result is a reasonably balanced system with adequate resolution, very high sensitivity and appropriate range, little random error (which is almost totally wiped out by the graph and averaging a set of readings), analyzed and understandable data, and has a pretty wide range ...
