Abstract:
The invention relates to a measuring arrangement ( 1 ) for testing skis and snowboards ( 2 ) or sports equipment with a planar contact surface, the arrangement comprising a sensor device, onto which at least one ski or snowboard ( 2 ) or piece of sports equipment can be laid. The sensor device has a sensor surface ( 3 ) which is predominantly sub-divided in a longitudinal and transverse direction into a plurality of sensor-surface sections ( 4 ), each of said sensor-surface sections ( 4 ) having at least one force sensor which outputs the force acting on the sensor-surface section ( 4 ) as an electrical signal that is evaluated by a computer unit ( 5 ).

Claim (Index 17):
A method of using a measuring system having:\n a sensing apparatus onto which at least one ski or snowboard can be placed, the sensing apparatus having a sensor surface mostly subdivided longitudinally and transversely into a plurality of sections each having at least one force sensor that outputs an electrical signal that corresponds to a force acting on the respective section; and a computer connected to the force sensors for receiving input therefrom, the method comprising the steps of:\n placing at least one ski or snowboard or piece of sports equipment with its sliding surface on the sensor surface and thereby loading the sections of the sensor surface with a pressure that a person generates by his/her weight, \n converting a force acting on a respective section is converted into an electrical signal, and \n determining with a computer a force/area distribution and/or pressure distribution that is exerted by the ski or snowboard on the surface from the electrical signals of the sections.
