Can you make accepted tap-tests and get an incorrect Dashboard?
The SpeedCast software measures the impact from the hammer and the force received by the accelerometer. If the accelerometer is misaligned from the hammer impact, the hammer impact is at an angle, or the accelerometer has too much wax, the force of the hammer is directed away from the accelerometer. The software may alert the user to hit harder. The result will be too low a response to force generated by the hammer and the reading will be inaccurate.
We have a function to validate that the correct hammer force is applied. It is called "coherence", Coherence must be above 80%.
