Abstract
Abstract A digital decadic indicator for measured values in which the object of the invention is to indicate along with the measured values the associated accidental so-called Gaussian measurement error. This is achieved by providing in the indicator a means for indicating by electronic methods the measurement error. The unit used for the electronic calculation is advantageously built into the measuring device.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A digital, decimal measuring and readout device to indicate measured values, obtained in a measuring apparatus which performs a series of repeated measurements and provides a set of respective, measured output signals (eg), comprising means (S) storing the individual output signals of the set of signals; and first computing means (C I;9) operating on the individual output signals of the set stored in the storing means to calculate the associated, accidental or Gaussian measurement error forming the Gaussian standard deviation, from the mean, associated with each measurement value as represented by the respective individual output signals of said set of output signals.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
A digital, decimal measuring and readout device to indicate measured values, obtained in a measuring apparatus which performs a series of repeated measurements and provides a set of respective, measured output signals (eg), comprising means (S) storing the individual output signals of the set of signals; and first computing means (C I;9) operating on the individual output signals of the set stored in the storing means to calculate the associated, accidental or Gaussian measurement error forming the Gaussian standard deviation, from the mean, associated with each measurement value as represented by the respective individual output signals of said set of output signals.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
63 words
A device according to claim 1 further comprising second computing means (C II) operating on the individual output signals of the set to calculate the Heisenberg uncertainty relation, said second computer means including comparison means connected to said first computer means to compare the calculated result from the Heisenberg uncertainty relation with, and to check for conformity with the Gaussian error distribution curve.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
A device according to claim 1 having an output display unit (AE) including a common display for the measured values and the measurement errors, the display of the measurement error being connected to and controlled by said first computer means (C I;9).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
63 words
A device according to claim 1 in which the measuring apparatus is an electronic scale, or weighing machine and said device includes a display unit (AE) which is connected to and controlled by the scale, and indicates the amount weighed and which is further connected to and controlled by the said first computer means (C I;9) to display the error of the weight.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
34 words
Device according to claim 1 to measure the values of physical characteristics of articles, further including means (S) to repeatedly, briefly displace the articles on the device to obtain said series of repeated measurements.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
39 words
Device according to claim 1, wherein the measured value comprises the weight of articles, and the device comprises a scale; said device further including means briefly, repeatedly, displacing the articles on the scale to provide said series of measurements.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
Device according to claim 6, wherein said displacement means comprises an impulse source repeatedly disturbing the balance measurement condition of said device.
