Different scaling and sensitivity units for acceleration in Measurement & Automation Explorer

[Crawling]

Hi,

I am using  Measurement & Automation Explorer version 5.1.0f0.  I have previously configured my accelerometer using this module.  Under setting, I have used g as my scaled unit.  The sensitivity units is set at mVolts/g.  This is just fine.

However when I tried to change the scaled units to m/s^2.  I DID NOT get the option to set the sensitivity units into mVolts/m/s^2. 

Is it OK to continue using mVolts/g for sensitivity units even when I had changed the scaled units to m/s^2.  Since the two engineering units are different, will the accelerometer output correctly give out m/s^2 reading or I have to make some adjustment at the vi post acquisition like dividing with 9.8?

Thanks

You do need a scale (oh, setting one up with slope=9.8 and offset around 0 ought to get mV/g to mV/M^2 pretty effectivly):smileywink:

please let me know how to convert a/sec^2 to velocity.I get readings in terms of g, all the lituratures mention vibration limits interms of particle velocity. so how do I interprete the difference between two?

You need to integrate the signal to get from acceleration to velocity.
