METHOD OF CALIBRATING TEMPERATURE COMPENSATED SENSORS

摘要

A method of calibrating an individual sensor whose output varies with at least one operating condition. A generic calibration curve is produced for the variation of the sensor reading with the at least one operating condition for the particular sensor type of the individual sensor. Calibration readings are then taken for the individual sensor at just a small number of discrete values for the at least one operating condition which fall within the full range of operating values for the at least one operating condition for which the sensor is to be calibrated. Using the calibration readings, the generic calibration curve is then scaled in order to fit the generic curve to the individual sensor.
