Systematic errors
Errors due to the mistakes made by the observer when taking measurement either through incorrect positioning of the eye or the instrument
Error due to the incorrect positioning of the eye when reading a measurement
Errors in the calibration of instruments or the non-zero reading when the actual reading should be zero
The non-zero reading when the actual reading should be zero that is the pointer of the instrument does not return to the zero position when it is not being used
Random error
Errors due to the mistakes made by the observer when taking measurement either through incorrect positioning of the eye or the instrument
Error due to the incorrect positioning of the eye when reading a measurement
Errors in the calibration of instruments or the non-zero reading when the actual reading should be zero
The non-zero reading when the actual reading should be zero that is the pointer of the instrument does not return to the zero position when it is not being used
Parallax error
Errors due to the mistakes made by the observer when taking measurement either through incorrect positioning of the eye or the instrument
Error due to the incorrect positioning of the eye when reading a measurement
Errors in the calibration of instruments or the non-zero reading when the actual reading should be zero
The non-zero reading when the actual reading should be zero that is the pointer of the instrument does not return to the zero position when it is not being used
Zero error
Errors due to the mistakes made by the observer when taking measurement either through incorrect positioning of the eye or the instrument
Error due to the incorrect positioning of the eye when reading a measurement
Errors in the calibration of instruments or the non-zero reading when the actual reading should be zero
