Abstract:
1. A measurement system adapted to determine key metrics of a pivoted closure during a closing event, comprising: a data acquisition device controlling data sampling and analog to digital conversion of data generated by a plurality of sensors included in said system sensing a plurality of parameters and generating corresponding data; a control selectively enabling control over operation of said data acquisition device said data processing and said memory device, and said display to include selectively stopping and starting data sampling or recording: a data processor receiving and analyzing said data generated by said sensors; a memory device storing data generated by said sensors before and after processing by said data processor; a display displaying data before or after said data is analyzed by said processor; at least a part of said system able to be temporarily attached to an exterior portion of said closure; said plurality of sensors including at least one displacement sensor sensing displacement of said closure along at least one axis and generating corresponding data, a load cell sensing the force applied by the user to the closure and generating corresponding data; and an accelerometer sensing accelerations of said closure and generating corresponding data.
