2. Run the Installation File 

Follow the installation guide to complete the installation.



โ€ป During the installation, FTDI drivers and .NET Framework will be installed. Both must be installed.

4. Configure Software Device and Sensor 

Set the device to Tinn (Snowboard2). (Default value: MC1509)

Set the sensor to MS9723. (Default value: None)

โ€ป If you are using MS9724, make sure to set it to MS9724.


5. Set Device Port 

To connect the device with the software, you need to know the port number that identifies the device.

Click on Port1 UI, and you will see a Reset option. Depending on your PC, there might also be COM1.

Remember the port number, then refer to the image below to connect the Tinn controller to your PC.




After connecting to the PC, select Reset in Port1. A new COM port will be added.

The new COM port is the recently connected Tinn controller, 

and the COM port number assigned by the PC usually does not change.

In this guide, COM81 is shown as the newly added port. Please select the new port.


6. Connect Tinn Controller and MS9723 Sensor 

Now, let's connect the controller and the sensor.

Refer to the image below.

(1) Open the sensor connection section of the Tinn controller.

(2) Insert the sensor horizontally into the Tinn controller.

(3) Close the sensor connection section of the Tinn controller.


7. Start Measurement and Verify Operation  

Press the Connect button to connect to the controller.

Press the connected sensor in an 'X' pattern and check if it appears the same on the Snowforce3 screen.

If it does not display, set the ColorMap value to 30 and the Threshold value to 0, then check again.

If it still does not display, please start again from Step 3 after the software installation.


Installation and Operation Verification of MP2508 Tinn Starter Kit is Complete!

Now, insert the sensor into the area where you want to measure the pressure distribution and start measuring.


Also, You can try the paid software ForceLAB2 demo version on our website. Experience more features!

โ€ป The ForceLAB2 demo version is available for 2 weeks after the initial installation on your PC.

Software[Document] Introduction to ForceLAB2 API

22 Apr 2025

Introduction to ForceLAB2 API

An Integrated API Solution for Real-Time Tactile Data Analysis and Control

The ForceLAB2 API is designed to support flexible system architecture for real-time data streaming and system control in a wide range of programming environments. It enables seamless integration with automation systems, helping customers build tailored solutions quickly and efficiently.


KLib2: Unidirectional API

- The KLib2 API enables access to real-time data analysis and internal API features within ForceLAB2. It supports unidirectional data streaming (ADC or Force data) to client software (including third-party software) over TCP/IP.

- Ideal for lightweight applications focused on data collection and external integration.


KLib3: Bidirectional API

- The KLib3 API allows bidirectional communication with ForceLAB2. Upon activation, it automatically connects to the device, enabling a wide range of controls such as starting/stopping analysis, saving logs and snapshots, or updating calibration files.

- Suitable for advanced, automated systems requiring dynamic control.
