These are some factors to consider when choosing a sensor:
- Accuracy - The statistical variance about the exact reading.
- Calibration - Required for most measuring systems since their readings will drift over time.
- Cost
- Environmental - Sensors typically have temperature and/or humidity limits. Enclosures that protect them also have limits.
- Range - Limits of measurement or the sensor.
- Repeatability - The variance in a sensor's reading when a single condition is repeatedly measured.
- Resolution - The smallest increment the sensor can detect.
