Abstract

A fruit firmness detection system was designed based on LabVIEW development environment which detects the displacement of the pendulum with eddy current displacement sensors according to the impact pendulum method and the signals were treated by the JKU-12 data acquisition cards. The whole system debug successfully in WinXP SP2, LabVIEW8.2 trial version of the Chinese environment. It could record the details of the probe penetrating into the fruit. The system was proved stable and reliable, and it provides a good technical method to test and analyze fruit firmness.
