The curve or a relationship connecting the voltage to the local fluid velocity or pressure is called a calibration curve. The layout of an experimental setup is shown in Figure 1.2. Present-day experimental setups replace the data storage unit by a computer that not only stores data but can begin and end the experiment itself .
