Calibration of force sensitive sensor device during its life cycle

A method of calibrating a dynamic force sensor during a life cycle of the dynamic force sensor using a calibration system,

• the system comprising:
• a device for sensing a plurality of data using the dynamic force sensor;
• a first calibration system;
• the device comprising the dynamic force sensor, a computing unit, and a memory associated with the computing unit;
• the first calibration system comprising a reference sensor and a force inducer, the force inducer for applying the same force to both the dynamic force sensor and the reference sensor, the force being the same on the dynamic force sensor and the reference sensor simultaneously, the first calibration system executing data acquisition of the force to determine a difference in a measurement by the dynamic force sensor and a measurement by the reference sensor and applying the difference to adjust the dynamic force sensor's output to match the reference sensor,
• wherein the first calibration system calibrates the dynamic force sensor during operation of the device without relying on historical usage data or material variability models alone;
• the method comprising the steps of:
• applying a force to the dynamic force sensor and the reference sensor, the force being the same on the dynamic force sensor and the reference sensor, and
• measuring the output of the dynamic force sensors using data acquisition software.
