The FingerTPS is a set of wearable finger sensors that enable you to measure grip, touch, and other hand forces. A more affordable alternative to the TactileGlove, this easy-to-use system captures high-quality data in a natural and organic form-factor. **Finger selection can be customised to specification** Features: Design or research with accurate, sensitive and repeatable data even for complex finger geometry. Comfortable and minimally-intrusive system allows for full range of motion and ensures natural hand manipulation research. Plug and play—no configuration needed. Just place on the hand, calibrate the sensors and Chameleon auto-detects your hand configuration. Compact wireless Bluetooth electronics provides simple and easy to use set-up, with minimal wires. Connect two wrist assemblies at the same time for two handed operations.

The ALS-2 Ambient Light Sensor is designed to measure background luminance as part of a Runway Visual Range (RVR) system. Mounted alongside the runway the ambient light sensor is often deployed with a visibility meter to provide the data necessary for calculation of RVR. Designed to comply with specifications and guidelines produced by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and the Federal Aviation Administration in the USA (FAA), the ALS-2 meets all the requirements for use in typical RVR systems. The ability to connect the sensor directly to a Biral visibility or present weather sensor and have the background luminance data incorporated into the visibility sensors data string simplifies system design and construction.

This 150 mm tail extender is designed to work in conjunction with any SingleTact micro force sensor or calibrated sensor system. For optimal performance use one extender per sensor and do not touch the connectors during use.
