Q u i ck S ta r t
1.
Connect the High Resolution Force Sensor to your
PASPORT interface.
2.
If you are using a computer, connect the PASPORT interface
to it and start DataStudio.
3.
Screw the hook attachment into the sensor.
4.
Press or click the start button to begin recording data.
5.
Push or pull the hook. The sensor measures the applied
force.
I n t ro d u c t i o n
The High Resolution Force Sensor connects to a PASPORT inter-
face or datalogger and records force in the range of
−
50 N to
+
50 N at a rate of up to 1000 samples per second. High resolu-
tion, dynamic over-sampling, and a low drift rate make the sensor
well suited for measuring very small changes

Connecting the Sensor to an Interface
1.
Connect the sensor’s plug to any port of a PASPORT inter-
face or datalogger.
2.
If you are using a computer, connect the PASPORT interface
to it and start DataStudio.
Zeroing the Sensor
Press the
ZERO
button on the sensor. The sensor’s output is
adjusted to read zero.
Connecting Bumper and Hook Attachments
Screw the bumper or hook into the sensor as illustrated.

Dynamic Over-sampling
To increase the degree of dynamic over-sampling, lower the sam-
ple rate.
Over-sampling reduces noise, produces smoother data, and
improves the measurement resolution. This effect is especially
noticeable when very small force changes are measured. The
