Exhibition of Experimental Mechanics 2008
EMex 08 took place in September as part of the British Society of Strain Measurements 8th International Conference held at the National Physical Laboratory in London. Leading academics and industry professionals had the opportunity to meet and discuss new developments in experimental mechanics and Mantracourt's latest T24 wireless telemetry products were a hot talking point.
New Telemetry Modules Fitted to Training Bicycle
Our new generation T24-SA telemetry strain gauge acquisition modules were fitted to a bicycle which had been designed to measure the power of a riders input and could be used in training to calculate the riders efficiency. T24-VA & IA current and voltage acquisition modules were also fitted to the bicycle which captured key training outputs from the rider and were calculated to provide power, torque, strain, speed, distance, RPM & cadence readings.
Output Data Captured Remotely
These values were then simultaneously captured on a laptop computer (see screen shot) which performed calculations and re-transmitted the results to a T24-HA handheld and a large LCD display. The T24-HA was also used to trigger a printed results sheet from a remote printer utilising the T24-SO serial output.
The transmission range of the T24 modules would allow the bicycle to be used in a velodrome situation allowing the trainer to monitor the riders performance from a fixed point.
