To demonstrate the reduction in error by the use of this method, the following error analysis is presented. t.2725/ t.2724/ D0:00244 s (46.A) t.2726/ t.2725/ D0:00238 s (46.B) Since the error in each time estimate can be ˙ t=2, the overall error in t.k/ – t .k 1/ for any ‘k’ can be ˙ t. Now, the true value of instantaneous RPM must satisfy the following, 60 t.k/ t .k 1/ C t .nC1/ True value of RPM 60 t.k/ t .k 1/ t .nC1/ (46.9)
