37215 Instruction Manual (Rev. 4)
The
37215-100
is a new
useful tool which makes
it possible to upgrade
UB Analgesy-Meters to
digital.
Figure 4: “Analgesy-Meter 37215 with optional DAQ 37215-100”
A specific pressure sensor and the related
controller, transform any UB Analgesy-
Meter into a fully digital device.
…and last, but not least, the upgrade kit is
designed to fit all existing Ugo Basile An-
algesy-Meters (provided with photoelectric
switch), for retrofitting old models too!
For operation, please refer to the 37215-
100 specific manual.

Keep in mind that the readings obtained on the mechanical scale and those
obtained by the electronic sensor may differ slightly.
This is a normal behavior of the instrument due to the fact that the mechani-
cal scale reads the full force applied to the paw, while the electronic reading
represents the linear components of the force itself.
It is up to the experimenter’s preference to rely on one or the other method;
none of them is
right
or
wrong
, but what matters is to consistently refer to one
or the other method, because they are not equal, as explained above.
