Abstract
A personal electronic device is provided with a feature of intelligently adjusting a sampling rate of sensors, such as barometers. Before acquiring a measurement from the sensor, the device checks other hardware for conditions that could introduce noise into the measurement. If the device does not determine that excessive noise is likely after checking the other hardware, the device proceeds to acquire the measurement from the sensor. Otherwise, the device delays the measurement. At the end of the delay, the device may check the other hardware again before acquiring the measurement from the sensor.
