A common framework for sensor performance specification terminology, units, conditions, and limits is provided. Specifically, the accelerometer, magnetometer, gyrometer/ gyroscope, accelerometer/magnetometer/gyroscope combination sensors, barometer/pressure sensors, hygrometer/humidity sensors, temperature sensors, light sensors (ambient and RGB), and proximity sensors are discussed.

This standard provides a common framework for sensor performance specification terminology, units, conditions, and limits. This standard is intended for sensor technologies with digital I/O interfaces. The specific sensors discussed in this standard are the accelerometer, magnetometer, gyrometer/gyroscope, accelerometer/magnetometer/gyroscope combination sensors, barometer/pressure sensors, hygrometer/humidity sensors, temperature sensors, light sensors (ambient and RGB), and proximity sensors.

This standard presents a standard methodology for defining sensor performance parameters with the intent to ease system integration burden and accelerate time to market (TTM). Here within, a minimum set of performance parameters are defined with required units, conditions, and distributions for each sensor. Note that these performance parameters shall be included with all other industry accepted performance parameters.
