Data Acquisition Electronics and Sensor to PC Interface

Every Tekscan Industrial system, including I-Scan, uses a specially designed sensor interface electronic called a "handle". The handle connects to the sensor, gathers the data from the sensor, and then processes and sends this data to your computer. The handle connects to the PC via a USB cable. Each interface product embodies sophisticated microprocessor based circuitry to control scanning sequence and frequency, adjust sensitivity, and optimize the performance of our sensors.

Related Products & Options

Tekscan systems provide the flexibility of adding on capabilities as your needs evolve to enhance data analysis and interpretation. Please ask us about any of the add-on options to the I-Scan system listed below:

Wireless Capability - Enables a wireless connection between your sensor/handle and your PC allowing for ultimate flexibility in data acquisition.

Video Synchronization™ - Video sequences can be recorded and synchronized with your pressure data and visualized in Tekscan software, enhancing the utility of collected data.

API 2 (Application Program Interface) - API 2 software enables a user, with programming knowledge, to write programs that directly access Real-Time sensor data buffers. The user interface is preserved with API 2.

Advanced Analysis (Polygon/Blob/Tracking Box) - This software package includes three options for more thorough analysis, such as allowing you to add a custom shaped box or window to a Real-Time window, ability to study loaded sensels in a particular area, and the ability to add a box to a movie or Real-Time window that will follow the loaded sensels in a given area.

I-Scan Handheld Data Logger - A PDA version of our I-Scan System that records dynamic movies capturing changes over time, making it easy to collect and store data directly from the field or assembly line.

Handheld Add-On
Equilibration/Calibration Devices - Pneumatic devices apply a uniform pressure to the active area of a sensor to normalize output of each sensing element. The system electronically compensates for variation in individual sensing elements.
