Error (baseball) In baseball, an error is the act, in the judgment of the official scorer, of a fielder misplaying a ball in a manner that allows a batter or baserunner to reach one or more additional bases, when such an advance should have been prevented given ordinary effort by the fielder. An error may not be charged on a foul ball, as the pitcher is in a better situation, with an extra strike against the batter, than he had been before the play.
Error amplifier (electronics) An error amplifier is most commonly encountered in feedback unidirectional voltage control circuits where the sampled output voltage of the circuit under control is fed back and compared to a stable reference voltage. Any difference between the two generates a compensating error voltage which tends to move the output voltage towards the design specification.
Error bar Error bars are used on graphs in the experimental sciences, to indicate the range of one standard deviation on one experimental measurement. Error bars can be used to visually compare two quantities, to determine whether differences are statistically significant.
Error burst In telecommunication, an error burst is a contiguous sequence of symbols, received over a data transmission channel, such that the first and last symbols are in error and there exists no contiguous subsequence of m correctly received symbols within the error burst.
Error card In the trading card collecting hobby, an error card is a card that shows incorrect information or some other unintended flaw. Depending on whether the manufacturer noticed the problem while the cards were still being produced, a card may exist in both correct and incorrect versions.
Error catastrophe Error catastrophe is a term used to describe the extinction of an organism (often in the context of microorganisms such as viruses) as a result of excessive RNA mutations. The term specifically refers to the predictions of mathematical models similar to that described below, and not to an observed phenomenon.

They are typically used to identify faulty hardware, software, or incorrect user input in programming languages that lack exception handling, although they are sometimes also be used in conjunction with exception handling.

This protocol allows an SD-SDI receiver to verify that each field of video is received correctly.

A signal sent by an ideal transmitter or received by a receiver would have all constellation points precisely at the ideal locations, however various imperfections in the implementation (such as carrier leakage, low image rejection ratio, phase noise etc.
Error-tolerant design An error-tolerant design is one that does not unduly penalize user errors. It is the human equivalent of fault tolerant design that allows equipment to continue functioning in the presence of hardware faults, such as a "limp-in" mode for an automobile electronics unit that would be employed if something like the oxygen sensor failed.
Errorlevel An errorlevel is an exit code returned by an executable program or subroutine, used to indicate success or failure. The value of the errorlevel returned by the function or program may indicate the cause of failure.
