X3 Professional v.5.0 Software
Custom Attribute Filtered Export - X3 Professional v.5.0 software gives you complete control over your pressure imaging data. For example, you can assign user-defined attributes to each frame of data and then use these attributes to filter and export data.
As an example, we have recorded a tire-tread session and defined the direction of motion of the tire as an attribute. During recording we assigned the direction of Up or Down to the frame data. Next, we want to export the pressure data for analysis in another tool, but we only want to export data when the tire tread was going "Up"
- Under File, select Export
- The Export Frame Data dialog box opens, click Add Special
- The Add Special Frames dialog box opens, click the Add all frames with matching attributes ratio button
- Use the drop down boxes to build the attribute filtering criteria, in this case "Direction" + "Equals" + "Up"
- Click the Add button
- In the Export Frame Data dialog you should now see the Frames with the Attributes matching your criteria.
- Save the Frame Data in one of the options provided in the dialog box (XSENSOR File, HTML, Text, or CSV), and continue with your analysis

Sensel - XSENSOR sensors are actually made up of a matrix of many sensing cells. Each sensing cell is an individual pressure sensor. To more easily discuss the individual sensing cells, XSENSOR refers to each cell in the matrix as a "sensel".
Sensor Naming Protocol - XSENSOR sensor names are made up of a number of different sections that describe some important details about the sensor. The name comes in the general form of: sensor family:# of rows.# of columns.sensels per inch
- Sensor families are grouped by the pressure range they are designed for:
PX100 - 5 to 200 mmHG
PX200 - 0.1 to 15 psi
IX500 - 10 to 200 psi
- Number of rows and columns is self-explanatory and the product of these two numbers is the total number of sensels in the sensor.
- Sensels per inch is the spatial resolution of the sensor.
Example:
PX100:36.36.02 - This sensor is designed for the 5 to 200 mmHG pressure range, has 36 rows and 36 columns for a total of 1296 sensels and has two sensels per inch or a 1/2 inch spatial resolution.
