5.2 Sampling Error

Sampling error can be attributed to inadequate sample rate for measuring flow. This error can originate from either the Hall-effect sensor, or the device responsible for data acquisition. In the case of the sensor, ensure the device has adequate bandwidth to support the frequency of changes in magnetic field. Acquisition frequency is similar to sensor sampling frequency, being that a frequency that is too low can compromise accurate frequency measurement. Therefore, at a minimum sample twice the anticipated maximum output frequency.
