Larry et al
2=A2  : If  I  understand it correctly, with a force feedback system,  th=
e
voltage/current measured is that required to restore the sensor to the ne=
utral
position. It would seem that with a system which has a strong mechanical
restoring force  that the system would be less sensitive ??? What would t=
he
feedback be used for? I guess if the feedback force is strong relative to=
 the
mechanical  restoring force you can get the sensor to have any desired re=
sponse
with electronics. eg , if the mechanical restoring force is directed back=
 to
null before the the desired response time, that the feedback force would =
would
actually be directed away from null ???
