Sensor Calibration — Linear Range

Model

Reference scale / V

Assumptions

Where does this sensor begin departing from its calibrated linear response?

Voltage output linear in applied reference force, with a fitted zero-load offset.

Reference force: Q / N · Sensor output: V / V

Reference scale is an assumed response noise floor, not measured uncertainty.

Stable zero-load offset and reference-force measurement.
Fixed operating conditions and approximately linear early calibration.
A generic educational sensor; no commercial device specification is implied.

Early calibrated response before appreciable compression.

Sensor response can become increasingly inconsistent with the fitted linear calibration at high input. The synthetic response compresses smoothly. A residual pattern does not prove a particular electrical failure mechanism.

Residual = measured sensor output − reference prediction. A sustained pattern matters more than a single unusual point.
