High Fidelity 101

High-Fidelity 101

Interface 101 series details high-fidelity (Hi-Fi), a term referencing how accurately a measurement system reproduces the characteristics of a physical input. Load cell users may require a high-fidelity system where the digital output precisely reflects the mechanical force applied to the sensor. This integrity must be maintained throughout the entire signal chain, from the physical deformation of the strain gage to the final data output. Hi-Fi is very important in aerospace, additive manufacturing, and product efficiency such as lightweighting.
Bias And Variance

Bias and Variance for Benchmarking Outcomes in Force Measurement

In load cell selection, understanding the relationship between bias and variance is defined by sensor specifications. Interface details how these engineering concepts dictate performance, improve design, and optimize benchmarking outcomes using force measurement systems.
INTERFACE TECH TALK Metrology 1

Why is Metrology Fundamental to Test and Measurement?

Metrology, the science of measurement, is the foundational pillar of the test and measurement industry. Metrology is critical for quality control, regulatory compliance, and the development of new products and processes across a wide range of industries. Interface LowProfile Load Cells and Gold Standard Calibration Solutions are standards of measurement excellence required in metrology.
INTERFACE TECH TALK Resistance Output Vs Rated Output

Resistance Output Versus Rated Output

Rated Output (RO) is the dynamic electrical signal that directly represents the applied mechanical force. Resistance Output is a static electrical characteristic of the load cell's internal circuitry. When you are performing force measurements, you are primarily interested in the Rated Output. This value, in conjunction with your excitation voltage, enables you to accurately convert the measured millivolt signal into engineering units of force in lbf or Newtons.
