An Introduction to Static and Dynamic MEMS Inclinometers (Download)

Precision and accuracy of an inclinometer are essential criteria when selecting one for a true value measurement. The gain, offset, noise, and cross-axis sensitivity in microelectromechanical-system (MEMS) devices are key determinants.

For many applications, the cost of a sensor often goes hand in hand with these key parameters. Because comprehensive calibration and trimming require additional time and equipment during manufacturing, higher-performance devices generally cost more.
