  • Transducers/calibrations (FSR'S)

    Hi all

    I am presently using the EDG gait analysis system
    which uses discrete transducers to measure pressures on the plantar
    aspects of the feet.

    I would like to know if anyone knows what exactly is involved in
    calibrating these transducers (or similar ones) ?
    NB:
    The transducers are force sensitive resistors that have a hyperbolic
    resistance pressure relationship.

    The manufacturer (Langer Biomechanics) says that their new software
    performs sensor calibrations, I would like to know what type (how)
    of calibration is performed by the software ?

    I encourage any general comments with respect to these types of
    transducers, I am not familiar with the engineering that goes
    into these transducers.
    ..are these FSR's temperature sensitive..
    . or affected by shear or bending .. ?

    Thanks
