==Time response ==
Criteria for the usefulness of sensors are: <br>
*the accuracy of the measurement,
*the transition function,
but also the
*'''''time response.'''''
The '''''time response''''' for most sensors is mainly determined by the amount of water needed for equilibrium. However, the time the water takes to diffuse onto the sensor needs to considered, too. Since this amount of water can be provided or discharged by the ambient air, the amount of air that flows onto a sensor plays an important role.
Because the diffusion rate is a function of temperature, a sensor will always have a slower reaction the lower the temperature. Other factors apply for sensors with different measuring principles, e.g. chilled mirror hygrometer.
In addition, filters complicate the exchange of gases. When using filter sizes of below 5 - 8 µm no more direct gas exchange takes place, but only gas diffusion.
