The ZPA series Barometric Altimeter is a highly accurate sensor for measuring altitude, which can be used to measure atmospheric pressure and altitude.
ZPA barometric altimeterThe atmospheric pressure is measured by the silicon piezoresistive principle or the vibrating cylinder principle and then converted to the corresponding altitude. It meets the different budgetary conditions and technical requirements of industrial customers.

Does the barometric altimeter measure direct height?
No, the barometric altimeter measures the height value after the conversion of atmospheric pressure, which is the difference between the direct distance obtained by ultrasonic distance measurement or radar distance measurement. It can also be understood as indirect distance, mainly used in the field of high altitude, that is, the direct method of measuring instruments inconvenient to install the scene.
Is the height value stable and constant at the same position?
No, because the altitude data is converted, so the altitude will be different under the same altitude because the air pressure will change every day. But you can choose a fixed reference to get a more accurate relative altitude.
