Nondisturbing measurements with the purpose of detecting an action experienced bу the test body are different from what is required where one wants to measure the observaЫes of а free body. For detection, it is sufficient that the observed body-sensor system remain undisturbed during the measurement, but the value measured does not need to coincide with the value of the observable in а free body. The study demonstrates the impossibility of controlling, i.e. registering continuously with an arbitrarily small error, the velocity, the energy, and the components of а complex amplitude.
