This standard provides a common framework for sensor performance specification terminology, units, conditions, and limits. This standard is intended for sensor technologies with digital I/O interfaces. The specific sensors discussed in this standard are the accelerometer, magnetometer, gyrometer/gyroscope, accelerometer/magnetometer/gyroscope combination sensors, barometer/pressure sensors, hygrometer/humidity sensors, temperature sensors, light sensors (ambient and RGB), and proximity sensors.
This standard defines the vocabulary, data formats, and application programming interfaces (APIs) for acquiring information from sensors, enabling communication between the cyber world and the physical world, including:--Data formats for interfacing sensor data defining a root schema with individual sensor data--Data formats for recognizing sensor capabilities defining a root schema with individual sensor capabilities--Data formats for common data types--Application programming interfaces to… read more transmit a sensor and its capability data between cyber and physical worlds read less
