#147691 - a miserable sensor, why the requirement
Responding to: ???'s previous message
1) Linearity (Error) < ±5% Line drawn from 0 to 50% force
2) Repeatability < ±2.5% of full scale Conditioned sensor, 80% of full force applied
3)Hysteresis < 4.5 % of full scale

in another related thread you ask for 0.02% precision from an A/D

that is ridiculous

With the data shown above if this is a scale and I buy a kg of sugar either I or the shopkeeper will be cheated by up to 80g.

you can compensate for linearity errors to a great extent
you can not compensate for repeatabiliity errors
you can compensate for hysteresis errors to some extent

with some VERY well designed code you MAY achieve a precision of ~4%, I can see no one interested in such a product.

Maybe I am totally off the rocker here and whatever you are making (why so secretive, we can help much better if you tell) will be quite satisfactury with such a lack of precision, if that is so, do tell.
