Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract The paper presents the development of a linearization algorithm of the output parameters of the sensors based on the circuits that determine the static characteristics of the correction transducers, ensuring the linearity of the general conversion function with a given accuracy. Simulation modeling of correcting the output parameters of MEMS pressure sensors has been carried out. The qualitative characteristics of the measuring system are determined via providing the sensors with a means for determining the degree of reliability of their output data using a virtual exemplary tool. A technique for calibrating and linearizing the output characteristic of an analog MEMS pressure sensor has been developed. An algorithm for polynomial approximation of the nonlinear output characteristic of the sensor and a method for its implementation in Lab View software environment (by National Instruments) are presented. Virtual instruments developed in Lab View software environment have been the basis of software-hardware means for monitoring and processing of measuring data. The developed methodology and means of automation of measuring processes with the use of virtual devices made it possible to make the process of correcting the output parameters of sensors autonomous, independent of stationary measuring devices and debugging tools.
