10 Questions
Sensitivity refers to the ability of a sensor to reproduce a given value repeatedly with a certain accuracy?
True
The resolution of a sensor is the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the sensed parameter?
False
Hysteresis and backlash are static characteristics of a sensor?
True
The response time of a sensor is the time lag between the input and output?
True
Deadband refers to the ratio between the magnitudes of the signal and the noise at the output?
False
The sensitivity of a measurement system measures the change in instrument output when the quantity being measured changes by a given amount.
True
The sensitivity of an analog sensor is defined as the change in output per change in input.
True
Accuracy is a measure of the difference between the measured value and the actual value.
True
Calibration errors are a type of bias error created by a non-zero output value when the input is zero.
True
Precision implies agreement between successive readings and closeness to the true value.
False
Test your knowledge on the static and dynamic characteristics of sensors, including sensitivity, offset, span, saturation, hysteresis, and more. This quiz covers the properties of sensors in steady state and transient conditions.
