PGA308/309 Overview Slide 5

This graph shows how the output of a bridge changes with applied stimulus (e.g. pressure for a pressure sensor). Offset is defined as the output of the bridge with no stimulus applied. Span is defined as the change in output over the full range of the sensor. These parameters can be seen in the top chart. Some bridge sensors are nonlinear with applied stimulus, and also have a varying output based on temperature, or drift, as seen in the bottom graphs.
