Sensor Capabilities: begin with the application requirement

Questions about Sensor Capabilities are easier to answer once the application is specific. A short project brief usually reveals more than a broad request for a part or technology.

Record where the item will be installed, what the system must receive, what can change in normal use and how the team will judge whether the result is acceptable.

A one-page brief covering those points gives engineering and purchasing a common starting point. Any product-specific statement should still be checked against current technical documentation and the intended test method.
