Have you ever heard a pilot ask passengers to move forward to balance the aircraft before taking off? On a small plane once, we had to shift to the front to maintain the Center of Gravity (CG). Pilots must calculate and log the weight and balance of aircraft (also known as weight and CG) before every flight to ensure safe operation. The center of gravity is the point where an object's weight is evenly distributed in all directions, and it plays a crucial role in the stability and performance of various systems, including airplanes and drones.
Our LoadVUE Pro, SensorVUE, and ControlVUE software displays plots of sensor data as a function of time, as fast as possible. The plot can either be a strip chart (with a specified time window) or a cumulative plot of all data points squeezed into the visible window. In the cumulative mode there is a limit to the maximum number of points that can b...
All Windows versions of Loadstar Sensors software require Microsoft .NET Framework v 4.0 or later installed on your computer. Some components of the software also require .NET Framework v 3.5 installed.

Hip replacement surgery is quite common among senior citizens of the baby boom generation. But in addition, due to advances in hip implant design and surgical techniques, a growing number of younger patients are undergoing total hip replacement (THR) surgery; however, this procedure can lead to complications and other side effects on the body. Once the implant is placed in the body, it is subject to mechanical loading (contact stress) conditions in a bio-chemical body environment.
When sensor readings are taken in a noisy or vibrating environment, it may be desirable to average the sensor readings to produce a smoother output. Depending on the data update on your particular PC and how fast you want to see it update in the software you can set parameters to optimize response time & get the highest signal to noise ratio. All Loadstar software provide an averaging option which can be selected by clicking Sensor, Filter Sensors..and selecting an average or median option.
Sometimes, we get support requests from users whose computers have trouble detecting a sensor or interface. The steps below outline what you can do to troubleshoot the issue. If you are using the device on a Windows XP or Vista or Win7 Operating System, you will need to upgrade to a Win8/10/11 PC or Tablet and get our latest software version. Please contact us here.
