Transitional values of piecewise function for linear characteristics

The corresponding transitional values for these functions are shown in the below table.

Optimised transition points of the general cubic-linear piecewise function, fit to the logarithmic potentiometer characteristic specified on the Alpha website. Values are rounded to 3 decimal places.
