Abstract
The output values of tilt sensor contain the installed initial angle after installed. A method of field calibration is put forward by inputting the corresponding command which makes the sensor output absolute angle or relative angle. The result is clear and visual. In addition, the parameters of semiconductor elements drift along with the variation of temperature which will cause tilt sensor exists measure error and impact accuracy. This paper introduces a temperature compensation method which used in the differential capacitor tile sensor based on acceleration principle. The test results show that this method guarantees the accuracy of tilt sensors up to 0.05 °C in the full temperature zone (−40 °C–50 °C) . It declines the influence of temperature on tilt sensor effectively and improves its environmental adaptability.
