    The QuickStart Board is a single voltage source circuit designed to quickly drop into a prototype or design into a product to obtain force measurements. The board is helpful in acquiring force measurements in initial tests and to validate the performance of Flexi- Force sensors.

    When combined with FlexiForce sensors, the QuickStart Board can detect and measure a relative change in force or applied load; detect and measure the rate of change in force; identify force thresholds and trigger appropriate action; and detect contact and/or touch.
