Multi-axis Load Cell FAQ
Note that for version 4.5.0.1 of Mach-1 Motion or later with an ESP302 controller + interconnection board + load cell smart connectors, the load cell calibration matrix is hardcoded and must be modified by a Biomomentum technician. How are multi-axis ...
No data stream when opening Mach-1 Motion, then Error -88705 after a few minutes

Questions and Answers regarding Spherical Indentation of Cartilage
Is there a suggested Poisson's ratio to use when analyzing indentations? If an indentation is performed in 1 second or less, it can normally be considered "instantaneous" and a Poisson's ratio of 0.5 should be used (i.e. the liquid inside the sample ...
Questions and Answers regarding the Hayes model (1972)
What is the Hayes model (1972)? The Hayes model is a mathematical model developed for indentation tests of articular cartilage. The articular cartilage is modeled as an infinite elastic layer of a certain thickness bonded to a rigid half space. This ...
General Creep function advice for the Mach-1 Motion software
Here are some recommended starting parameters: Start at P = 0.001, I = 0. If load (e.g. 3000gf) was not reached, increase to P = 0.01, I = 0. Repeat with by increasing again to P = 0.1 if load was again not reached. If the motor starts to overcorrect ...
