Create Measurements

There are various ways to create measurements.

Every measurement has a sample and an uncertainty. If the uncertainty is not given, it is assumed to be zero and hence the measurement is infinitely precise.

Using Constructor

>>> Measurement("2.0", uncertainty="0.13", units="m")
2.0 +/- 0.1 m

>>> Measurement("2.0", uncertainty="1.57", units="m", uncertaintyPercent=True)
2.0 +/- 1.6% m

>>> Measurement("2.0", uncertainty="0.13", units="m", precision=3)
2.00 +/- 0.13 m

From String

Regular

>>> Measurement.fromStr("2.0 +/- 0.13 m")
2.0 +/- 0.1 m

>>> Measurement.fromStr("2.0 +/- 1.57% m")
2.0 +/- 1.6% m

For Analog Device Measurements

>>> Measurement.fromStr("2.00a m")
2.00 +/- 0.05 m

For Digital Device Measurements

>>> Measurement.fromStr("2.00d m")
2.00 +/- 0.01 m

For Constant Measurements

Assumed to infinite precision and no uncertainty.

>>> Measurement.fromStr("2.00c m")
2.00 m

From Float

Assumed to infinite precision and no uncertainty.

>>> Measurement.fromFloat(3.14)
3.14
