    摘要: Described herein is a method and system for testing a force or strain sensor in a continuous fashion. The method employs a sensor, a test fixture, a load cell, a mechanical actuator and tester hardware and software to simultaneously record signal outputs from the sensor and load cell as functions of time. The method provides time synchronization events for recording data streams between, for example, a linear ramp of the force on, or displacement of, the sensor and for extracting performance characteristics from the data in post-test processing.
