Introducing the next generation of Tekscan’s pressure mapping, I-Scan™10
This software is built on the new TekDAQ data platform, which features upgraded electronics (TekDAQ 220). In addition, it offers expanded connectivity options and hardware enhancements. All are designed to support demanding testing and measurement applications.
The I-Scan™ 10 is aimed specifically at engineers, researchers, and product development teams who utilise pressure mapping to assess not only contact forces but also pressure distribution and product performance. Importantly, the release maintains compatibility with existing Tekscan matrix pressure sensors and preserves the software workflows used by current I-Scan™ customers.
The launch marks the latest major hardware update to the platform with the introduction of the TekDAQ 220. The new electronics incorporate improved resistance to electrical noise and electrostatic discharge (ESD). Additionally, there is a field-replaceable cable featuring USB-C connectivity and USB-A adapter support. Along with increased mechanical strength at the cable connection through a reliable screw-locking mechanism.
Key New Features of the I-Scan™ 10 Include:
Industrial-Grade Data Acquisition Electronics
TekDAQ 220 rapidly scans sensor data and relays it to the I-Scan™ software for real-time visualisation and analysis. The TekDAQ 220 offers scan speeds of up to 100 Hz.
Enhanced Resistance to Electrical Noise and ESD
The new TekDAQ 220 handle is designed for demanding environments. It now includes enhanced resistance to noise and electrostatic discharge (ESD) events, ensuring a more reliable testing experience.
USB-C Connectivity with USB-A Adapter Support
The new TekDAQ 220 handle offers a field-replaceable cable with USB-C connectivity and USB-A adapter support, and increased mechanical strength at the cable connection through a screw-locking mechanism.
New and updated I-Scan™ 10 software features
Multi-Tile Calibration: For sensors that have multiple sensing areas shown in the software, such as grip sensors, each sensing area can now be calibrated and equilibrated independently in I-Scan™ 10 software.
Analysis Display Improvements: Panes within the UI can show analysis features, including peak force (quantitative value and location) in a real-time or recorded window.
Also included are the new expanded temperature mapping capabilities discussed below.
Expanded temperature mapping capabilities
Temperature mapping calibration files can be “tared” to quickly reset a T800 temperature sensor to a known, nominal temperature. Temperature mapping data can now be collected at sub-zero temperatures (-50°C – 0°C).
