Why do you need to condition a FlexiForce sensor?

Question: Why do you need to condition a FlexiForce sensor?

 

Answer: You should always condition the sensor prior to testing because the sensor’s output changes the first few times it is loaded.  By loading the sensor before your calibration, you will ensure that the sensor is producing repeatable results for your calibration and testing. It will also produce a repeatable drift curve. You can condition the sensor by loading it at 110% of your maximum load for a few cycles.

 

Refer to our Quick-Start Calibration Guide for more details.
