ABSTRACT:
An apparatus includes a force sensor configured to be activated by a user and a control unit connected to an output of the force sensor. The control unit is configurable to operate in response to receipt of an m-bit value representing a measurement from the force sensor to transform the m-bit value to an n-bit transformed value, where n<m, and where the transformed value encodes an identification of one of a plurality of force ranges and contains a force measurement value within the identified one of the plurality of force ranges.
