(10) Drift
Drift refers to the change in sensor reading when the input keeps constant. Drift is divided
into temperature drift and zero point drift. Zero point drift refers to the output without any
input or with a constant input. Zero point drift could be expressed as the following equation:

Temperature drift refers to the change of output with the change of temperature. It means the
deviation of sensor output, which could be expressed as the following equation:

(11) Hysteresis
In some sensors, the input-output characteristic follows a different nonlinear trend, depending
on whether input increase or decrease, as in figure 2. For example, a certain pressure sensor
could produce a different output voltage when the input pressure varies from zero to full scale
and then back to zero. When the measurement is not perfectly reversible, the sensor will show
its hysteresis. If a sensor exhibits hysteresis, the input-output relationship is not unique, but
depends on the direction change to the input value of sensor.
