Sensor Technology (Part 1 of 2) Static Characteristics of Sensor

What is the static characteristics?


The sensor performance can be examined by two ways,
1. When steady or constant input signals are applied, comparison of the
steady output with the ideal case gives the static performance of the
system
2. When changing input signals are applied, comparison with the ideal
case gives the dynamic performance of the systems

Hysteresis :
The hysteresis is an error of a sensor, which is defined as the maximum
difference in output at any measurement value within the sensors specified
range when approaching the point first with increasing and then with
decreasing the input parameter.
