System for reading pressure of a pressure sensor and method therefor

A method for reading pressure of a pressure sensor, the method comprising:

• reading, by a first device coupled to a pressure sensor subjected to an acceleration, a measured acceleration of the pressure sensor, wherein the pressure sensor includes a sensing element encapsulated in a medium, and wherein the acceleration alters a measured pressure of the pressure sensor;
• reading, by a second device, a measured pressure from the pressure sensor, wherein reading the measured pressure of the pressure sensor includes triggering the reading of the pressure sensor when an acceleration reading criteria is met, and wherein the acceleration reading criteria includes whether reading a pre-determined plurality of acceleration readings of the pressure sensor have occurred;
• adjusting the measured pressure of the pressure sensor based on the measured acceleration to produce an adjusted pressure reading, wherein adjusting the measured pressure of the pressure sensor based on the measured acceleration to produce an adjusted pressure reading only occurs if an output criteria is met;
• and
• outputting, by an output device, an output pressure reading.
