Accelerometer (Low g 3-Axis)

The accelerometer is an electromechanical device that will measure acceleration forces. These forces may be static, like the constant force of gravity pulling at your feet, or dynamic - caused by moving or vibrating the accelerometer. There are 2 accelerometer sensors, one recording accelerations to a maximum of 10g and one recording accelerations to a maximum of 40g. The lower range sensor can record acceleration in one of 3 axis or the resultant force of the 3 axis. It will also measure vibration forces and angle. The higher range sensor is restricted to 2 axis and resultant forces of both axis. Both sensors will show the acceleration as multiples of g or as ms-2.
