Before beginning my solution to the problem, the data needed to be studied.

To do this I simply outputted the programs to their own respective files. I then u ploaded these tables into excel and graphed them with digital as the y and analo g as the x. From this table i used the best fit of a linear line. My first sol ution to the problem was to discover the ideal equation for the device as well a s the best fit line to the graph. It was my thought that I could solve for what the analog value must have been given the current digital value, then use that v alue to solve for the ideal digital value. While this was close to the correct solutio it posed a problem though, as i solved for the analog value for both equ ations, and because one equation divided the digital value by 819 for a lot of v alues less than 819, the value was zero. This skewed my results and did not red uce the error. To account for this problem, I inverted my graph in minitab, and fit a best line curve to that. This allowed me to solve for the analog value g iven the digital value as the independant variable. Using the analog value obta ined from the inverse function, I entered that into the ideal function to solve for the adjusted digital value. My first approach to the problem seemed correct as the outputted error was initi ally 2.069%. I however discovered the reason for this was that I was not puttin g a space between my print fucntions, which must have overloaded the error check er and made it output the error incorrectly. When I accounted for this, the err or became nearly 100%. This led to my second solution of using the inverse. Wh en solving this I changed from excel to minitab as it allowed for higher order p olynomials of best fit. I descovered that the higher the polynomial, the lower the error of my function, and so I went to the maximum value minitab allowed wit hout throwing an error, which was 8. This solved the problem, lowering the erro r to 4.42%
