TireScanTM System Features
System Overview
Above: 2D pressure distribution image of a tire footprint showing
Perimeter Area, Contact Area, and Cross Sectional Pressure Profile of the
tire. It also shows the Length and Width of the tire footprint.
KEY SOFTWARE FEATURES:
|
- Measures force, pressure, and contact area - dynamically
- Record and Play-back pressure “movies”
- Display real-time and recorded data as 2-D
and 3-D pressure images and graphs
- Ability to isolate and analyze specific areas
|
- Plot pressure, area, and force data over time and distance
- Windows compatible copy and paste of pressure images or data values into other applications
- File output in ASCII format
- View and compare multiple tests
- New! Save files as AVI movies
- And much, much more!

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:
Video Synchronization™ - Video sequences can be recorded and synchronized with your pressure data and visualized in Tekscan software, enhancing the utility of collected data.
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.
ASR (Automatic Sequential Recording) - Allows the system to
automatically start a new recording when the current one is complete, without
the need to manually open new real-time windows and start new recordings.
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.
Tab Extender - Increase the distance between your sensor and the Tekscan sensor scanning handle (electronics) with Tekscan’s reusable Tab
Extender.
Save MatLab - Save Tekscan movie data (*.fsx file format) into a MATLAB MAT-File (*.mat file
format) for greater flexibility in analysis.
External Trigger & Synch - Trigger/Synch allows the user to coordinate the operation of other products
with a Tekscan system.
