| Upper and Lower Rib and redundant (Ay) | 4 |
| T12 and redundant (Ay) | 2 |
| Pelvis (Ay) | 1 |
| TOTAL SIDH3 channels | 16 |
Data from the SIDH3 dummy were recorded by the FOIL ODAS III data acquisition system from DSP Technologies. The sample rate was factory set at 12,500 Hz with an analog prefilter with a cutoff frequency of 4000 Hz.
The FOIL instrumented 300K rigid pole was designed to measure vehicle frontal and side crush characteristics. The rigid pole was set up in the side-impact configuration. The rigid pole side-impact configuration consisted of four solid half-circle steel impact faces mounted to two load cells via two high-strength connecting rods per face (eight load cells total). The diameter of the pole impact faces was 255 mm. The load cells measured the forces exerted on the pole at each location. This provided insight into what structures on the vehicle produced the significant loads. The 300K rigid pole was mounted in line with the target impact location, forward of SIDH3's head.
A spike (e.g.. sharpened welding rod) was affixed to one impact face to verify the impact location by physically puncturing the vehicle body. Figure 5 is a sketch of the FOIL 300K rigid pole (side-impact configuration).
