FSE103 User Guide

4.2 User integration

If you are not using our user interface, please note that the FSE103 will continuously stream data through the

USB cable as soon as the cable is plugged in. However, no data is saved within the sensor itself.

4.2.1 Connection

The FSE103 is seen as a serial device (COM port) when plugged into a computer. Since the sensor uses a USB

CDC to emulate serial communication through USB protocol, no settings need to be speciﬁed when opening

the serial port.

4.2.2 Commands

Two types of data can be sent by the sensor:

• calculated forces

• raw values used to calculate the forces

By default, the FSE103 sends the calculated forces as soon as the cable is plugged in. You can switch between

the two modes by sending the following command:

Name Command

[Default] Stream calculated forces ’f’ or ’F’

Stream raw values ’r’ or ’R’

Initialize sensor ’z’ or ’Z’
