Auto-zeroing absolute pressure sensor |
摘要 |
One aspect provides a method including determining that an absolute pressure sensor is not submersed in a fluid; measuring an atmospheric pressure with the absolute pressure sensor to determine an offset pressure measurement; submersing the absolute pressure sensor in a fluid; and measuring pressure with the absolute pressure sensor; wherein a compensated pressure measurement of the fluid is determined. Other embodiments are disclosed. |

1. A method, comprising:
determining that an absolute pressure sensor is not submersed in a fluid by comparing an electrical resistance between two or more electrodes to a predetermined threshold; measuring an atmospheric pressure with the absolute pressure sensor to determine an offset pressure measurement; submersing the absolute pressure sensor in a fluid; and measuring pressure with the absolute pressure sensor; wherein a compensated pressure measurement of the fluid is determined based on the pressure measured for the fluid and the offset pressure measurement. |
