Measurements of temperature, pressure, and deceleration during descent, and of deceleration during high speed entry of the four Pioneer Venus entry probes were used to define the structure, and differences in structure of the atmosphere of Venus at the four widely separated entry sites. This paper describes the sensors and steps taken to realize highly accurate measurements in the design and selection of the sensors and analog electronics.
