Appendix A: Specifications
Force Sensor:
Output voltage +8 V for +50 newtons (pushing)
+ 8 V for -50 newtons (pulling)
Output noise +/- 2 millivolts
Slew Rate 25 newtons/millisecond
Range* +/- 50 newtons
Resolution** 0.0305 newtons (or 3.1 grams)
Bandwidth limit 2 kilohertz (internal low pass filter)
Output drive 8 meters of cable without instability
* The range of the sensor is +/- 50 newtons with an output
between -8 to +8 volts, or 160 millivolts per newton.
** The resolution of the sensor refers to the smallest change
in force that the sensor can measure. For example, an
interface with a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter and an
input range of +/- 10 volts gives a resolution of 0.0305
newtons (or 3.1 grams).
