I have a Q4X Stainless Steel Analog Laser Sensor to calculate the distance with analog output voltage. It does display distance on Laser Sensor display and I am trying to do the same thing in my code using scale factor but its not matches with Laser Sensor display value.
here is my scaling factor.
#define A2D_SCL_LASER ( 11.81f / ( 10.0f - 0.0f ) ) // inches per volt
Devices specs:
Supply Voltage (Vcc)
12 to 30 V dc
Sensing Range—Threaded Barrel Models
500 mm models: 25 mm to 500 mm (0.98 in to 19.68 in)
300 mm models: 25 mm to 300 mm (0.98 in to 11.81 in)
100 mm models: 25 mm to 100 mm (0.98 in to 3.94 in)
Comparison of distance calculation in my code and sensor display
My values(mm) sensor display value(mm)
1V 29.9974 52
2V 59.944 80
3V 89.916 107
4V 119.888 134
5V 150.114 162
6V 179.832 190
7V 209.804 217
8V 240.03 245
9V 270.002 272
10V 300 300

I simply fitted the sensor displayed value with the voltage you give in your question. The R²=1 means that the fit is perfect (or near perfect) and this is a good sign.
The equation you are searching for is
Distance(mm) = 27.533 x Volt + 24.467
