The Gain Tuning step in the calibration process functions to correct deviations between the sensor's nodes. 

During this process, a Gain value is assigned to each node, and

 this value is determined within the range set by the Gain Bound. Below is an example image.


The Gain Bound should be set to prevent significant errors 

when the force at the Gain Tuning point and the measured force differ greatly.

We generally recommend a range of 0.5 to 2.0.



โ€ป Measurement performance may degrade if Gain Tuning is performed 

with weights different from the actual usage environment.

This section provides an explanation of the different types of Fine Tuning 

supported by the advanced calibration features of ForceLAB2. 

Fine Tuning can be selected from three types: SUM, AVG, and All.


Below is a summary of the recommended environments for each type,

 their advantages and disadvantages, and the criteria for Force input. 

We hope this information is helpful during the calibration process.

Calibration typically refers to the process of verifying and

 adjusting the precision of measurement devices. 

At Kitronyx, calibration is further defined as the method of converting digital values output 

in response to force into absolute force and pressure readings.



The calibration of film-type FSR sensors involves two main steps: 

Gain Tuning, which corrects deviations in individual nodes, 

and Fine Tuning, which measures pressure.

The Baikal II controller can read a maximum of 48*48 sensor channels (a total of 2304 channels). 

Therefore, the maximum number of sensors that can be connected depends on the number of channels per sensor.


Example:

SFC4300CX (48*48 Ch = 2304 channels) -------------- Maximum 1 unit

Custom Sensor (48*12 Ch = 576 channels) 576 * 4 = 2304 channels ----- Maximum 4 units

* For simultaneous connection of custom sensors, a separate interface board development is required.


* Please note that the number of sensors may vary depending on the design of the custom sensor.

The measurement speed of the Baikal II depends on the communication environment:
32Hz in a wired environment and 21Hz in a wireless environment.

For faster measurement speeds, custom development is required. 


We have developed solutions up to 600Hz. 

Please refer to the demo video linked below.

The controller itself does not support data storage or output functions. 

If you use external programs and separate data processing devices (PLC, DAQ, etc.), 

you cannot directly connect and communicate with the controller. 

However, you can receive data through the PC software connected to the controller.
