Note that the Calibration Graph is Position vs. Force, which is reversed from the normal
Force vs. Position graphs used when taking data on actual samples. A polynomial curve
fit is applied to the Calibration Graph, and the coefficients are saved as a calibration.
When a new data run is collected, the polynomial equation is used to modify each
position value by a Δx based on the force measured at that point.
