What are Lead-Wire effects?

Lead-wire effects refer to the influence of the wiring used to connect sensors or measuring devices to their input signals, which can introduce errors or distortions in the readings. This can stem from factors like resistance, capacitance, or inductance in the lead wires, affecting the accuracy and reliability of measurements. In applications like electrical measurements or signal processing, it's crucial to minimize these effects for precise data collection and analysis. Proper cable management and selection, along with calibration, can help mitigate lead-wire effects.
