Weight Calibration
The values of the footscan device are proportionate to the pressure on each sensor,
up to a factor. This weight calibration factor is identical for all sensors but might vary in
time due to wear. Footscan 9 relies on an up-to-date value of the weight calibration
factor to guarantee accurate measurements. Weight calibration recomputes the
calibration factor for each device.
Weight calibration uses a measurement of a subject with known weight. Based on such
measurement with known characteristics footscan 9 is able to determine the weight
calibration factor accurately.
rs scan recommends performing weight calibrations regularly. Set the desired time
interval between calibrations in the Settings dialog (Section
).
(a)
Set weight and shoe
size.
(b)
Perform a dynamic measurement to calibrate the
device(s).
Figure 16:
The weight calibration dialog uses a dynamic measurement with known
characteristics to calibrate each device properly.
The weight calibration dialog (Figure
) needs the weight and shoe size of the
subject performing the calibration measurement. Click Exit to leave the weight
calibration dialog. Click Next to proceed.
Device lists all devices (Figure
). Devices marked with a need weight calibration.
The dialog displays the Calibration factor and Date of the selected device.
Click Start calibration to start the weight calibration for the selected device. The
preview shows the activity on the plate. Walk over the plate to perform a dynamic
measurement and click Finish. The dialog updates Calibration factor and Date.
Click Close to close the weight calibration dialog.
The weight calibration needs to recognize at least one foot to succeed. The
accuracy of the weight calibration increases with the number of recognized
feet. Generally 6-8 feet suffice to obtain a reliable calibration factor.
rs scan recommends to send the footscan system to rs scan yearly for
replacement of the Pressure Sensitive Layer (PSL) and calibration. Contact
the rs scan support department at
to obtain our RMA
(Return Material Authorization) procedure.
