Temperature compensation
Definition
Temperature compensation in air quality sensors, it means that the sensor’s readings are adjusted or corrected based on the current temperature. Temperature can affect the sensor’s electrical characteristics, and these changes can lead to inaccuracies in its measurements. Compensation involves using temperature sensors within the sensor package to monitor temperature changes and applying correction algorithms to account for these variations.
Definition and Description
Temperature compensation in air quality sensors refers to the process of modifying or rectifying the sensor’s output values in response to the prevailing temperature conditions. Temperature can impact the electrical properties of the sensor, potentially causing deviations in measurement accuracy. To address this, compensation entails the integration of temperature sensors within the sensor assembly, enabling the monitoring of temperature fluctuations. Correction algorithms are then employed to mitigate the effects of these temperature variations on the sensor’s readings, ensuring more accurate air quality measurements.
