Offset calibration error
Offset temperature error
SCA3000's offset will be calibrated in X = 0 g, Y = 0 g, and Z = +1 g (Z measuring axis is parallel to
earth’s gravitation) position, see Figure 20.
Offset calibration error is the difference between the sensor's actual output reading and the nominal
output reading in calibration conditions. Error is calculated by
Equation 2
where Output
output reading [counts], Output is sensor’s nominal output in 0 g position and Sens sensor’s nominal
sensitivity [counts/g].
Offset temperature error is the difference between the sensor's output reading in different
temperatures and the sensor’s calibrated offset value at room temperature. Error is calculated by
Equation 3
where Output
is sensor’s X-axis output reading [counts] in temperature T, Output
[counts] at room temperature RT and Sens sensor’s nominal sensitivity [counts/g]. Sensor is in 0 g
position for every measurement point.
