What is meant by “frequency” output? How can I interpret the frequency data to infer loads in lbs?
The iLoad Mini load cells has 2 frequency outputs. When Control Input = logic ‘1’, the Mini outputs the load cell frequency, Fsensor. When Control Input = logic ‘0’, the Mini outputs the reference frequency, Fref. The compensated frequency Fcomp = Fsensor – K*Fref, where K is a constant provided by Loadstar. Loadstar would also provide the coefficients for the quadratic equation to translate Fcomp to weight.
