FORCE SENSOR OPERATION MANUAL 1.0 INTRODUCTION sensor cost-per-channel is substantially lower, since they operate through standard, low-cost coaxial cable, and do not require expensive charge amplifiers. ICP force sensors incorporate a built-in MOSFET microelectronic amplifier. This serves to convert the high Refer to the installation/outline drawing and specification impedance charge output into a low impedance voltage signal sheet at the back of this manual for details and dimensions of...

FORCE SENSOR OPERATION MANUAL 7.0 LOW-FREQUENCY MONITORING The discharge time constant represents the decay rate of an input signal. One DTC represents the amount of time taken for Force sensors used for applications in short term, steady state the signal to decay to 37% of the initial peak value. As monitoring, such as sensor calibration, or short term, quasi- illustrated in Figure 16, this is an exponential decay.
