Sensitivity calibration error
Sensitivity temperature error
During sensitivity calibration, the sensor is placed in ±1 g positions having one of the sensor’s
measuring axis at a time parallel to the earth’s gravitation, see Figure 21.
Sensitivity is calculated by
Equation 4
where Sens
reading [counts] in +1 g position and Output
position.
Sensitivity calibration error is the difference between sensor’s measured sensitivity and the nominal
sensitivity at room temperature conditions. Error is calculated by
Equation 5
where Sens
sensitivity [counts/g] at room temperature conditions and Sens is sensor’s nominal sensitivity
[counts/g].
Sensitivity temperature error is the difference between sensor’s sensitivity at different temperatures
and the calibrated sensitivity. Error is calculated by
Equation 6
where Sens
axis@T
measured Y-axis sensitivity [counts/g] at room temperature RT.
