A method of estimating the precision of an apparatus that generates a continuous stream of information. The method comprises dividing the information in successive or overlapping pairs and calculating an index of precision therefrom for evaluation against a benchmark such as a standard value, a specification, or a contract requirement. Calculations can be done by a microprocessor and microprocessor instructions internal to the instrument or by a microprocessor and microprocessor instruction external to the instrument. The microprocessor instructions comprise any of various standard mathematical algorithms which return an estimated index of precision.
