Help with Tactile Pressure Sensors specifications:
Sensor Type
Back to Top
Imager/Sensor Type: | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Pressure Indicating Film (Single Sensor) | Pressure sensitive film, which creates a direct visual image of pressure distribution. | ||
Active Pressure Sensor Arrays | Arrays of pressure sensor elements packaged out in single sensor. | ||
Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
Features
Back to Top
Flexible? | Will bend and conform to a surface. | ||
Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
Electronic/Digital Image? | Can output electronic image through optional hardware and/or software. | ||
Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
Performance
Back to Top
Pressure Range: | The range of pressure to be measured. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
Spatial Resolution: | The smallest nominal resolution the device can operate or measure in. For instance - the area measured is one foot by one foot. The spatial resolution would be half inch by half inch. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
Dimensions
Back to Top
Width: | The overall width of the device. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
Length: | The overall length of the device. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
Thickness: | Thickness of sensor or sensing material | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
Electrical Output
Back to Top
Electrical Output: | The type of electrical signal that will be produced. | ||
Your choices are... | |||
Analog Current (4-20mA, etc) | Often called a transmitter. A current is imposed on the output circuit proportional to the measurement. Feedback is used to provide the appropriate current regardless of line noise, impedance, etc. Useful when sending signals long distances. | ||
Analog Frequency or Modulated Freq | The output signal is encoded via amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), or some other modulation scheme, but the signal is still analog in nature. | ||
Analog Voltage | Output voltage is a simple (usually linear) function of the measurement. | ||
Serial | A standard digital output protocol (serial) such as RS232, etc. | ||
Parallel | A standard digital output protocol (parallel) such as IEEE488, etc. | ||
Switched/Alarm | An "output" of a change in state of switches or alarms | ||
Other | Any digital output other than the standard serial or parallel signals. Simple TTL logic signals are an example. | ||
Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
Environment
Back to Top
Operating Temperature: | The temperature range over which the device must operate. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
