by taking the average of these repeated readings. Systematic errors affect all readings in a similar manner and are caused by factors such as calibration. Since all readings are affected in the same way‚ taking multiple readings does not allow quantification or reduction of such errors. • Accuracy‚ inaccuracy and uncertainty: The term accuracy describes the maximum expected error associated with a measurement (or a sensor) and may be expressed as an absolute value or as a percentage of the range
