Multi-Handle ELF System
Wireless ELF™ System for
Freedom in Force Sensing!
Since its debut in the summer of 2006,
the Wireless ELFTM System has been widely praised
as one of the most exciting new sensor products in the industry. In addition to inclusion in Sensors Magazine's Top 50 Products of 2006 and receiving
an honorable mention at Sensors Expo 2006, Wireless ELF is taking the concept of a turnkey, user-friendly force measurement system to a new level.
Wireless ELF enables your computer to capture and store force data wirelessly from distances of up to 200 feet. This revolutionary
system offers greater flexibility for countless applications, including sports equipment testing, safety assessment, medical procedures,
industrial R&D, and much more.
The Wireless ELF makes data capture in the field easy and flexible.
User Friendly
The ELF hardware is simple to install. The standard ELF System handle connects to your USB port
(see ELF computer requirements). The Wireless
ELF Hub connects to your USB port, quickly turning your
computer into a force measurement instrument.
The ELF force measurement system exclusively utilizes FlexiForce sensors. These sensors
have a patented interconnect to our ELF hardware. The combination of
superior sensor performance, electronics and software ensures optimal
system accuracy and performance. The FlexiForce sensor is an ultra-thin
(0.008"), flexible printed circuit. The system comes complete with three sensors in various force
ranges: low (0 - 25 lbs; 111 N), medium (0 - 150 lbs; 667 N), and high (0 -1000 lbs; 4450 N).
Forces less than 0.044 lb (20 g; 0.196 N) up to 1000 lbs (454 kg; 4450 N) can be covered with
the ELF system.
Intuitive Software
ELF single-handle screen display.
ELf Multi-handle screen display-advanced feature. Available upon request.
The WindowsTM-compatible ELF software displays a real-time
graphical representation of the force on the sensor, and lets you record this information to review and
analyze later.
Standard features include:
Adjustable gain (lets you fine-tune the desired force range)
Real-time graphic displays in strip chart, column graph, or digital readout
Data retrieval and playback
Ability to store and retrieve calibration files
Internal triggering
User-selected recording speeds from 10 Hz up to 200 Hz
ASCII Output
Advanced Optional Software Features
More advanced features are available upon request, such as:
High Speed Data Acquisition: five different speeds from 8 Hz-5760 Hz
Multi-Handle ELF (MELF) software: allows measurement from up to 16 sensors at a time (each
sensor requires an individual data acquisition handle)
