scope:

This standard provides a common framework for sensor performance specification terminology, units, conditions, and limits. The specific sensors discussed in this standard are the accelerometer, magnetometer, gyrometer/gyroscope, barometer/pressure sensors, hygrometer/humidity sensors, temperature sensors, ambient light sensors (ALSs), and proximity sensors.

Purpose

This standard presents a standard methodology for defining sensor performance parameters in order to ease system integration burden and accelerate time to market (TTM). This standard fulfills the need for a common methodology for specifying sensor performance that will ease the non-scalable integration challenges. This standard defines a minimum set of performance parameters, with required units, conditions, and distributions for each sensor. Note that these performance parameters shall be included with all other industry-accepted performance parameters.
