Hardware Overview
The angle output for a tire rotating at constant velocity can be represented by the
following illustration:
Although you may not routinely use it, the angle output information is available
for tasks such as tire uniformity testing and troubleshooting. You may also
calculate angular velocity by measuring the frequency of the angle output signal.
If using the sawtooth angle output for analysis or computing velocity, care should
be taken when setting the data acquisition to avoid filter-induced ringing or
attenuation of the sawtooth output.
Communications
The TI uses USB 2.0 for communication. The MTS supplied USB drivers must
be installed on each computer you connect to the TI.
