Do you have a question about the SLICE Free Motion Headform and is the answer not in the manual?

Questions and answers

Is it possible to record multiple tests before downloading the test in SLICEWare? Or do I have to reconnect the FMH to SLICEWare after every single test and download each test individually? Asking because I want to conduct multiple tests while being disconnected from software.

Yes, multiple tests can be recorded on the DTS SLICE Free Motion Headform before reconnecting to SLICEWare for downloading. The SLICE system autonomously collects and stores data to flash memory after being armed and receiving a Start Record or Trigger signal, without needing a PC connection during data collection.
