Getting Started with the Load Cell Adapter
Please refer to the Trigno System User guide for key
operational details regarding the base station, sensor charging,
and initiating the sensor.
Configuring the Trigno Load Cell Adapter
Once paired to the system, Load Cell data and optionally IMU data from the
sensor can be configured through the software in the following ways:

Note that the orientation is calculated on-board with a data fusion algorithm.
Using the Analog Outputs (if Equipped)
The Trigno System provides simultaneous analog signal reconstruction of data
being detected by all active sensors. These signals are made available on the
68-pin connectors located on the Base Station and range cover the +/-5V range.
Analog outputs are engaged through software and are only available for specific
sensor sampling configurations as stated below:
Sampling Rate
