1.9 Additional External Compensation
To achieve the best possible accuracy, the temperature measurement information and typical
temperature dependency curves can be used for SCA61T offset and sensitivity temperature
dependency compensation. The equation for the fitted 3
rd
order polynome curve for offset
compensation is:
Where:
Offcorr: 3

order polynome fitted to average offset temperature dependency curve
T temperature in °C (Refer to paragraph 2.7 Temperature Measurement)
The calculated compensation curve can be used to compensate for the temperature dependency of
the SCA61T offset by using the following equation:
Where:

where: Offset = output of the device at 0° inclination position, Sensitivity is the sensitivity of the
device and V
Dout
is the output of SCA61T. The nominal offset is 2.5 V and the sensitivity is 4 V/g
with SCA61T-FAHH1G and 2 V/g with SCA61T-FA1H1G.
Angles close to 0° inclination can be estimated quite accurately with straight line conversion but for
best possible accuracy arcsine conversion is recommended to be used. The following table shows
the angle measurement error if straight line conversion is used.
