8.1 Offset
CMA3000's offset will be calibrated in X = 0 g, Y = 0 g, and Z = +1 g (Z measuring axis is parallel to
earthâs gravitation) position, see Figure 18.

8.1.1 Offset calibration error
Offset calibration error is the difference between the sensor's actual output reading and the nominal
output reading in calibration conditions. Error is calculated by
Equation 1
Offset X âaxisCalibEr
=
Output X âaxis â Output
Sens
â
1000 ,
where OutputX-axisCalibEr is sensorâs X-axis calibration error in [mg], OutputX-axis is sensorâs X-axis
output reading [counts], Output is sensorâs nominal output in 0 g position and Sens sensorâs nominal
sensitivity [counts/g].
8.1.2 Offset temperature error
Offset temperature error is the difference between the sensor's output reading in different
temperatures and the sensorâs calibrated offset value at room temperature. Error is calculated by
Equation 2
Offset X âaxisTempEr @ T
= Output X âaxis @ T â Output X âaxis @ RT
Sens
â
1000 ,
where OutputX-axisTempEr@T is sensorâs X-axis temperature error in [mg] in temperature T, OutputX-axis@T
is sensorâs X-axis output reading [counts] in temperature T, OutputX-axis@T X-axis output reading
[counts] at room temperature RT and Sens sensorâs nominal sensitivity [counts/g]. Sensor is in 0 g
position for every measurement point.
8.2 Sensitivity
During sensitivity calibration, the sensor is placed in ±1 g positions having one of the sensorâs
measuring axes at a time parallel to the earthâs gravitation, see Figure 19.
