   What does high accuracy mean?

   • To have a high accuracy, a series of measurements must be both precise and true. Therefore, high accuracy means that each measurement value, not just the average of the measurements (see trueness), is close to the real value. Thus, if your measuring device is very accurate, you can rely on each measurement and may not need to repeat it.

   What is a high accuracy metric?

   • The measured values can have a high scatter (low precision) but have a very high trueness. The same is true in reverse: measured values with low trueness can be very precise. So, in practice, we need a metric that combines both. This metric is the accuracy. To have a high accuracy, a series of measurements must be both precise and true.

   How accurate is a measuring device?

   • The accuracy of a measuring device is often given in percent and indicates by how many percent the measurement result can deviate from the real value. However, how accurate a measuring device needs to be, depends very much on the applications. While high accuracy is always practical, it is not always necessary.
