USB connection of the KMG The force gauge features an USB connection for transferring the measured data of the KMG 300/500. In the case of a complete installation, all necessary drivers are already on the PC. You can find further device information in the respective operating instructions.

EPSON scanner with calibration element The EPSON scanner of type V370 is required for the pressure analysis. The scanner properties are decisive for a scan followed by pressure force analysis. An alternative scanner may only be used after previous consultation. The enclosed calibration element must be used for every scan. It is necessary for the correct conversion of the color intensities into pressure values. Make sure the alignment on the scanner is correct (details, see page 13). The calibration element can fade due to light exposure or become damaged due to other circumstances. The software checks the functionality of the calibration element and displays the status after scanning using 6 elements. The 6 elements must all be illuminated. If this is not the case:

- Check the calibration element and QR code for damage. - If damage is present, the calibration element must be replaced. - Check the scanner area for residues and contaminations. - Clean the calibration element. - Check the scanner functionality by scanning a full-area image as needed. Check for irregularities in the

color gradient. Irregularities indicate a defective scanner. The calibration element is available as spare part from GTE GmbH.

Step 1: Configuring the measuring equipment

I. Create a new data report via the File\New menu. Connect the force gauge KMG 300/500 to the PC. Select the force sensor and the pressure sensor in the top right area. The available sensors are displayed for selection depending on the license. The serial number of the device is displayed indicating the successful connection to the KMG 300/500. Important: Select the type of film used. An incorrect selection will impact the measuring result!

II. Switch to the “Biomechanical configuration” tab and select the body region using the drop-down menu.

All body locations corresponding to the body region are shown on the body model. The numbers correspond to the numbering of the standard.

III. Select the suitable measuring point using the “Specific location” drop-down menu. The selected point is marked highlighted in green. Tip: You can also select specific locations per mouse click on the body model.

IV. Next, the currently applicable thresholds for this collision point are displayed underneath the menu.

V. The compression element K1 to be used and the required spring rate are shown on the right side of the window. For the KMG 300/500 force sensors, this rate is fixed. The compression elements are selected automatically based on the preset calculation basis (see “Default settings – system configuration”).

VI. If – deviating from this – an alternative compression element is used, the setting can be changed from “Automatic” to “Manual”. Different compression elements can then be selected using the then available drop-down menus. Using the menus, the desired and available compression elements and springs can be selected (only in connection with the “Piezo” force sensor type).

Step 2: Report data of the measurement Additional fields for report data and parameters of your measurement are available in the top left area of the window.

• Use descriptive names for the “Test series” and “Test name” fields. Directories with the same name will be created in the storage path, when the measu rement is saved!

• Enter the name of the tester.

• You can indicate time and location.

• Fields “ Temperature” and “ Relative humidity” are parameters and influence the presented measurement result of the Fuji films! For this purp ose, these values must be determined on site using a suitable measuring device.

• The “Edit me” fields are used for further documentation, e.g., to specify diverse parameters, such as the collision form or the name of the test object. Field headers can be edited and renamed by clicking on the “Edit me” fields.

• Using the “File\Template from file” menu function, the content of an already stored measurement can be imported. For this purpose, select the respective measurement zip file.

Input options for measurement conditions. Tip: The headers can be renamed by clicking on them.



Step 3: Importing measurement data The KMG 300 and KMG 500 feature an integrated analysis and memory. After a measurement, the force profile is displayed graphically. Furthermore, the results for static and dynamic/transient force can be read out directly on the device's display. This way, measurements can be performed and analyzed on site independently from a laptop/PC. The measurements are numbered and saved. After all pressure measurements are completed, the data can be imported. Tip: Film can be numbered using a pen or similar. Note: if possible, the pressure measuring film should be imported immediately. Preparation:

• Connect the KMG 300 or KMG 500 with the laptop/PC.

• Connect the scanner with the laptop/PC and switch it on.

• Place the pressure measuring film together with the calibration sheet onto the scanner (see notes page 13).

• Prior to importing the pressure data, check once mo re that the correct film type is set and that the temperature and air humidity data is correct!

Import:

Switch to the “Measurement data” tab for importing. The memory data of the force gauge is automatically loaded.

By operating the “Force measurement data import” drop-down field, you can load the desired measurement from the KMG. For this purpose, the device must remain connected.

After selection of the force measurement, the corresponding pressure measurement can be imported. For this purpose, press the “Scan” button. Select scanner V370. Scanning starts.



Import:

Next, the scan is displayed.

Press and hold the left mouse button and select the relevant area. Confirm with “OK”.

• The pressure image is imported and filtered. The evaluated result is displayed in the right window.

• Measuring points can be added to the pressure image as needed. For this purpose, right-click on the desired point. Select “Add note” in the menu. Left-click on the text and drag the text field onto the desired position.

• Force measurement and pressure image can be newly loaded as needed. At this point in time, the measurement has not been saved yet.

Once all data is correct, click on the “Complete” button. The measurement data is now saved in the folders. Next, the “Results and thresholds” window opens.

After scanning, check that all color fields of the calibration element were recognized. If this is not the case, check the calibration element!



Step 4: Measurement results and thresholds After completion or after opening an existing measurement file, a separate window opens displaying the stored results.

After a measurement is “completed”, directories are created based on the names in the “Test series” and “Test name” fields (section “Step 2”). You can access the directory via the “Open measurement directory” button. 5 files are generated in the destination folder:

• A file with the raw data

• An image file of the force measurement

• An image file of the pressure measurement

• A Word report. The report is created based on a Word template (see below) and contains the configured data fields and/or bookmarks. The Word document can be opened an edited. This way, a measurement can be documented comprehensively.

• An image file across the scanned calibration element with the pressure measurement. This file can be imported later as needed via the “From file” button in the configuration window.
