sensor calibration

Sensor calibration is the process of adjusting a sensor to ensure it provides accurate and reliable measurements. Over time or due to environmental changes, sensors can drift from their true readings. Calibration involves comparing a sensor's output to a known standard or reference and then fine-tuning it so that the readings match this standard. This ensures the data collected is precise, enabling better decision-making and system performance. Think of it as setting a watch to the correct time—regular calibration keeps sensors aligned with real-world conditions.
