Can I measure the sensor?


I don't know how my camera deals with tonal range.

  Tonal range can be determined by viewing Histograms. This is not so much 'measuring the sensor' as it is measuring the exposure and the light in the scene. Your sensor will likely do the job it was designed to do...If you are using RAW processing rather than in-camera JPEG processing, your camera will likely deal with dynamic range in different ways. I see from your questions that you have other considerations to make about your workflow before this becomes an issue to consider.
