BIONOMADIX WIRELESS ACCELEROMETER
The BioNomadix wireless Tri-axial Accelerometer (BN-ACCL3) is a
broad spectrum acceleration measurement system. The transmitter can
be attached to any part of the subject's body to measure three-axis
acceleration associated with movement in that particular location.
The system comes factory preset to support an operational range of
±16 G, with a maximum system bandwidth of 400 Hz. Ranges can be
set to as low as ±2 G with bandwidths as low as 3 Hz.
The system can also be configured to act as a "tap detector," detect
either single or double taps. In this mode, the system can act as an
event recorder for self-report. When "double-tapped," for example, the
system will output a pulse to precisely mark the time location of the
observed event.
In Acceleration measurement mode, the BN-ACCL3 will output X, Y
and Z acceleration values on three associated channels. The system is
very well suited for mobile applications. The system can measure the acceleration of gravity (static) for tilt-
sensing and can also measure very fast-changing, dynamic acceleration resulting from rapid movement or impact
.
