6.4 Resistive and HFC readout

HFC (hybrid force compensation): Our latest feature optimizes the sensor for static

load by enabling an almost drift free readout over time.

The most noticable change next to the drift minimization lies within the force required

to actuate the sensor. Now that we are utilizing both, capacitive and resistive readout,

the force required to actuate the sensor is noticably decreased.

Activating HFC readout:

1. Set the switch to „ON“ position

2. The RGB readout LEDs will light up because the capacitive value requires further

calibration

3. Hit the „RESET“ button

4. The signal is now calibrated

Activating resistive readout:

1. Set the switch to „OFF“ position

2. The resistive signal does not require additional calibration  the resistive readout

is available again

HINT: The HFC readout only impacts the standard

single taxel channels. Slider and Proximity

functionalities remain untouched by the changes.

HINT: The HFC calibration is affected by channel,

sensor & environment. If you experience unexpected

readout behavior one of those factors most likely has

been changed  simply hit the reset button again.

If the setup remains untouched after initial calibration,

switching between hfc and resistive is possible

without further repetitive calibration.
