Tekscan offers a full line of equilibration
devices to use with your pressure measurement system.
These devices apply a uniform pressure to the active area
of the sensor to allow the Tekscan software to compensate
for variation in the output of individual sensing elements.
Tekscan software determines and applies a gain (scale factor)
to each sensel so its Digital Output (D.O.) is equal to the
average D.O. of all loaded sensels.
The result is digital compensation for
each individual sensel. This compensates for differences in sensitivity
between sensels due to manufacturing or repeated use of the sensor.
Applying a uniform pressure is also useful as a quality assurance check
on the sensor to confirm that the sensor has an acceptable uniform output,
is operating correctly, and has not lost continuity within rows or columns.
