Smaller amounts of change indicate increased sensitivity for the capacitance sensor. Some sample values are shown in
In the above cases, the capacitance is assumed to be in the middle of the range for specific settings. Within the capacitance
range the equation is nonlinear, thus the sensitivity is best with the lowest capacitance. This graph shows the sensitivity derivative
reading across the valid range of capacitances for a set I, T, and V
