Interfacing with RPC
The SWIFT sensor is directly compatible with the MTS Remote Parameter
Control (RPC) simulation software. The SWIFT system produces outputs that
directly correspond to the uncoupled spindle forces that the MTS Model 329
Road Simulator applies to the vehicle. Traditional instrumentation techniques
provide coupled suspension loads data. Using the SWIFT sensor, the RPC
simulation software needs to apply less correction to obtain the road simulator
drive signals. Fewer iterations are required to recreate the measured loads.
You must ensure that the full scale value for your data recorder and the MTS
electronics match. MTS electronics are typically set at ±10 V full scale, while
some data recorders are ±5 V full scale.
The SWIFT sensor is calibrated for ±10 V full scale. To recompute the TI gains
for ±5 V full scale, a verification pass must be run or the calibration will not be
traceable. Upon special request, MTS can evaluate and may provide calibration
for ±5 V or other full scale voltages.
