Linear potentiometer calibration: distance versus voltage

X = np.array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0]) # (cm)

a,b,RR,sxy = linreg(X,Y)

Estimate: y = ax + b
N = 5
Degrees of freedom $\nu$ = 3 
a = 1.04 $\pm$ 0.072

Example 2 - hot wire calibration

We expect the calibration from the King’s law in the form:

\[ E = a + b U^m \]

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# given data: 
U = np.array([0.0, 10.0, 20.0, 30.0, 40.0]) # air velocity, (m/s)
E = np.array([3.19, 3.99, 4.30, 4.48, 4.65]) # voltage (V)

We want to use linear regression

Therefore we convert it to linear form: $\( \log_{10}(E-a) = \log_{10} b + m\, \log_{10} U \)$

and solve as linear regression:

\[ Y = B + m X \]

plt.plot(U,E,'o')

[<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0x7fc7c288bf20>]

# since E(U = 0) = 3.19 V, we get a = 3.19 V
a = 3.19 # V
plt.plot(np.log10(U[1:]),np.log10(E[1:]-a),'o')

[<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0x7fc7bf954f20>]

m,B,R2,syx = linreg(np.log10(U[1:]),np.log10(E[1:]-a))

Estimate: y = ax + b
N = 4
Degrees of freedom $\nu$ = 2 
a = 0.43 $\pm$ 0.033
b = -0.52 $\pm$ 0.045
R^2 = 0.997
Syx = 0.007
y = 0.43 x + -0.52 $\pm$ 0.015 V

\[ Y = -0.525 + 0.43 X \pm 0.015 (95\%) \]

\[ E = 3.19 + 0.3 U^{0.43}\]

plt.figure(figsize=(10,10))
plt.plot(U,E,'o')

# for smooth plot
u = np.linspace(0.001,40)

x = np.log10(u)
y = m*x + B
yu = y + 0.015 # linear confidence interval 
yl = y - 0.015

Es = 10**(y) + a
Eu = 10**(yu) + a # confidence interval non-linear
El = 10**(yl) + a

plt.plot(u,El ,'k--')
plt.plot(u,Eu,'k--')
plt.plot(u,Es)
