iTestSystem Tip: Impact Hammer Setup
While iTestSystem is designed to collect data from specific sensor types like strain, voltage, current, and accel; custom signal types such as pressure, displacement, and force can also be configured by utilizing the Custom Scale functionality during the channel creation process. For example, manufacturers often need to measure the amount of force required to install…

Strain Gauge Shunt Equivalent Calculations in iTestSystem
When making strain measurements it is important to perform a shunt calibration both before and after the actual measurements are acquired. Shunt calibrations ensure accurate strain measurements by adjusting the sensitivity or gain of the data acquisition equipment to compensate for leadwire resistance and other scaling errors. iTestSystem takes advantage of the shunt calibration circuits…
