Introduction
Congratulations on your new purchase! Your footscan pressure measurement system
was developed to perform state-of-the-art gait recording and analysis. Our user-friendly
footscan 9 software accurately records static and dynamic plantar pressure data of
subjects in barefoot as well as shod condition.
This document consists of two major parts. The installation guide shows you how to set
up the hard- and software correctly to make your first measurement. The user manual
provides you with an overview of all functions of the footscan 9 software.
The remainder of this introductory chapter covers general information about rs scan and
its products, as well as conventions used throughout this document.
Enjoy your footscan system.

Products Overview
In general, all footscan systems operate in the same manner:
T h e footscan plate measures plantar pressure
using an X-Y matrix of resistive pressure sensitive
sensors that are scanned sequentially. The system
registers pressure data when the subject stands on
or walks over the plate.
The footscan 9 software processes the data. The
result is a pressure image of the foot. The color
scale of the image varies from blue (minimum
pressure) to red (maximum pressure). Additionally,
the system computes a number of physical
properties for further analysis of the measurement.
Footscan Entry level systems are available in three sizes: 0.5m, 1m and 1.5m. The
plates connect directly to a USB2 port of the computer via the fixed (0.5m and 1m
system) or detachable USB cable (1m heavy duty and 1.5m system). No additional
power supply unit is required. Appendix 18 provides more technical details.

Footscan interface box systems also come in three sizes: 0.5m, 1m and 2m. They
consist of a footscan interface box and a plate, as well as the cables to connect them:

Interface box
Analog coaxial cable 6m (An optional longer cable is
available if required).
USB cable A-B 5m
Power supply unit
Power cord (Specific country version according to order).
A footscan security dongle is a USB2 hardware dongle which can be used to run the
footscan 9 software without a footscan plate being plugged in.
