Datasheet for the Infinity Sensor V2, updated 11 November 2022

Matlab codeupdated 25 July 2024*
This is the code that we use to integrate the sensor output and to correct the offset prior to integration. Correction of the offset eliminates an unwanted slope in the current measurement. The code is annotated to help you port it to your preferred platform. Using this type of postprocessing is not strictly necessary, you can also do this directly on most advanced oscilloscopes. Offset is introduced in different parts of your measurement system, and to eliminate this we use a combination of this code, the choice of a short measurement window, and, where possible, the averaging of multiple measurement waveforms. See the V2 datasheet for more information.

​

*Please note that in V2.0 (25/7/24 update), the order of the output variables is swapped relative to V1.0 (this is the only change). If you are already using V1.0, you will need to modify any code that calls the function, in order to swap the order of the output variables, or to call it with only one output variable if you only need the processed data.

How do I get hold of Infinity Sensors for my own work?

Please go to Services where we explain how to purchase samples.

The Infinity Sensor V2 does not meet my requirements, what shall I do?

Please either ask on the forum, or get in touch, and we can discuss the design of a bespoke sensor for your needs.
