Abstract
An electronic device for calibrating a nip measuring device associated with nip rollers includes a sensor selection circuit configured to receive signals from a sensor array that includes a plurality of nip sensors that are configured to detect operational parameters of the nip rollers, a plurality of sensor channel lines electrically connected between respective ones of the plurality of nip sensors and the sensor selection circuit, a calibration array including one or more calibration resistors, and a calibration channel line electrically connected between the calibration array and the sensor selection circuit. A signal on a respective one of the plurality of sensor channel lines is configured to be sampled by a respective one of a plurality of gain resistances. A nip sensor resistance of a sensor is determined based on the sampled signal on the sensor channel lines and the gain resistances. Related methods and systems are also described.
