Complete pressure mapping system with sensor, reader and analysis computer

The appropriate pressure mapping system depends on the test event and interface. Wired configurations suit controlled fixtures, wireless paths help where cable access is restricted, high-speed systems address short events, high-resolution systems emphasize spatial detail, and production-integration paths support defined line-side workflows. Every path still requires a matched sensor, reader and software configuration.

How the system works

One measurement chain from contact to decision

The sensor captures the interface, the reader acquires the array data, and the software turns the data into maps, curves and reports.

Sensor array

Selected for area, range, geometry, spatial detail and environment.

Acquisition reader

Selected for matrix capacity, scan rate, communication and test layout.

Analysis software

Configured for visualization, recording, calibration, analysis and output.

Wired and wireless test layouts

Place the acquisition path around the real setup

Connection method, fixture access and site conditions are reviewed together; wireless performance remains configuration- and environment-dependent.

Pressure mapping placement example at an assembled interface — Controlled fixtures can use a stable wired acquisition path.

Illustrative pressure sensing placement in a mobile test environment — Portable layouts still require radio, battery and sensor compatibility review.
