Optima-SC (OPT-SC) Amplifier

Signal Conditioner

The Optima amplifier (OPTIMA-SC) is an essential component of AMTI’s patented Optima force measurement systems. This signal conditioner works exclusively with Optima-HPS and Optima-BMS force plates and precision calibration files to provide levels of accuracy never before seen in force platform systems.

AMTI’s Optima amplifier provides both a digital (USB) output for direct connection to your PC, and a 6-channel analog output if a third-party data acquisition system is preferred. To facilitate setup, the amplifier automatically reads profile information stored onboard all AMTI Optima force platforms, including bridge resistance, transducer capacity, and serial number. All that is required by you is the upload of a corresponding precision calibration file (.bcf) unique to your force plate.

The OPTIMA-SC offers seamless integration between your Optima force plate and NetForce, AMTI’s data acquisition software provided to all our customers. Simple USB integration is also available with several third party software packages, or ask about our USB Device Software Development Kit (SDK). The SDK provides a straightforward framework for custom integration and includes sample code in languages such as Matlab, Python, C# or C++, Unity, and LabView.
