Patent ID: 8311760

Claim:
A method of determining, section after section, a parameter-dependent correction value approximation course for a measurement signal correction of a sensor arrangement, wherein with regard to an initial parameter value an initial correction value and a first parameter coefficient are given, and wherein the correction value approximation course comprises a first partial section for a first parameter range which is based on the initial correction value and the first parameter coefficient, comprising: determining a first measurement signal value with a first parameter value associated with the sensor arrangement, when the first parameter value fulfils a predetermined condition or a trigger condition is fulfilled; changing the first parameter value associated with the sensor arrangement to acquire a second parameter value associated with the sensor arrangement; determining a second measurement signal value with the second parameter value; and determining a second partial section of the correction value approximation course for a second parameter range based on a functional connection describing the second partial section considering the first and the second parameter value, the first and the second measurement signal value and the initial correction value, wherein the second partial section of the correction value approximation course is determined so that the first parameter range is adjacent to the second parameter range; and wherein the first partial section and the second partial section of the correction value approximation course are continuously adjacent to each other.
