Sensors & Data Acquisition — question 4 of 10

Write a real answer. It is graded against the question's rubric, and the mastery movement is computed by the same engine the product uses. Scoring here is deterministic rather than model-written, so this page costs nothing to run and nothing is saved. In a track built from your own posting, the same rubric is graded by the model, which is what produces feedback about your reasoning rather than about coverage.

You calibrate a pressure sensor against a reference standard at two points and it matches within spec. Six months later in the field, its output at zero pressure has shifted by 2% of full scale, but the slope between two known pressures still looks correct. What does this tell you about what happened to the sensor, and does your original two-point calibration still protect you?

How sure are you?

Being confidently wrong costs more mastery than admitting a guess — that is deliberate, and it is how misconceptions get found.

Neither is graded, and nothing here is recorded.
