Uncertainty of an oscilloscope frequency, read from the period
Is it considered as a polynomial function? since f = 1/T, so f = t^-`1, thus df/dt = -1/t^2, and then do I just substitute t=0.001 into the equation to get the uncertainty?- zzzriprip

Uncertainty of an oscilloscope frequency, read from the period
Hi, I am unsure of what uncertainty to get, so here is my full question: I used the CRO for an experiment, and since what I need is frequency, I read the period, so for the uncertainty of the period, it is the smallest division divided by two. So if my uncertainty for period is 0.001s, then what...- zzzriprip
