if the zero line of vernier scale is not conciding with main scale the zero error exists.Knowing the zero error necessary correction can be made to find correct measurement..Such a correction is called zero correction
It depends on what type of instrument is being used.If it is a Vernier caliper,the zero error is caused when the zero on the vernier scale is shifted either to the right(+ve error) or the left(-ve error) of the of the zero mark on the main scale.The way to find the zero error is quite similar to the Micrometer screw gauge one but still they are different due to their different parts.For the Micrometer screw gauge,the zero error occurs when the zero mark on the circular scale is either shifted up(-ve error) or shifted down(+ve) from the horizontal line on the main scale(sleeve).
The zero error of a measuring instrument is a result of a calibration error. For example, the speedometer dial in my car shows 10 mph even when the car is parked - the needle cannot go below that position. Many rulers have a bit of plastic (or wood) before the graduations start so if you measure from the end of the ruler the value that you see will always be too small by that amount.
Zero error or parallax error is a common problem faced by physicists. It occurs when readings are unable to be taken accurately due to perception problems of the naked eye.
zerro error in a spring balance affects the accuracy in the weight. To find zero error in spring balance, you have to first find the least count of the spring balance and then suspend it freely, if the outcome is +1, the zero error is +1 and if it is -1 ,the zero error is -1.

The zero error depends on the user, and the wear on the metre rule. Given that smaller rulers have about 2mm of material before the zero mark, wear is unlikely to exceed that without being noticed. The reading error is +/- 1 mm.
It is a defect in a measuring device (Vernier Callipers & Screw Gauge) & zero error is caused by an incorrect position of the zero point.
we can find the zero error by closing the jaw of screw guage if the zero of main scale(MS) is concide with the zero of circular scale (CS) there is no zero error and if they are not concide there is a zero error in screw guage .
The zero error of vernier calliper is defined as :-The zero error is equal to the distance between the zero of the main scale and the zero of the vernier scale.
if the zero of vernier scale lies on the right side of the zero of the main scale , then error is known as a positive error .
zerro error in a spring balance affects the accuracy in the weight. To find zero error in spring balance, you have to first find the least count of the spring balance and then suspend it freely, if the outcome is +1, the zero error is +1 and if it is -1 ,the zero error is -1.
The zero error of a measuring instrument is the measure that it shows when it should actually be showing zero.
Take a measurement with nothing in the gauge. That reading is the zero-error.
The answer is in your own question. A divide by zero error is a divide or mod by zero type of error. In MSVC++ it has the error code C2124. Ultimately it is a fatal error and will either produce a compile time error or throw an unhandled exception at runtime.
Zero error and parallax error
In a computer, this is an error caused by a calculation which, as it implies, included dividing by zero. The computer can't represent the result of division by zero so an error is generated.
the correction which is made to get correct measurement after zero error
.005mm
The scale doesn't start at zero, so you need to compromise or you get a systematic error.
