Sensor sensitivity is set in meters-per-second squared (m/s
2
) units. However,
some acceleration sensors use G (gravitational constant) units, in which case
the read value should be divided by 9.8 (m/s
2
).
Example 1 If specified sensor sensitivity is written as 1.08 (pC/(m/s
2
));
sensor sensitivity level should be set to 1.08.
Example 2 If specified sensor sensitivity is written as 64.0 (pC/G);
64.0/9.8 = 6.53 (pC/(m/s
2
))
sensor sensitivity level should be set to 6.53.
About Units
This device normally measures in units of charge level per m/s
2
, but the
units can be changed to charge level per G by the scaling function. Scaling
can be set as follows:
Using a sensor outside of the setting range
The setting range of sensor sensitivity is 0.1 to 10 pC/(m/s
2
) or 0.1 to 10
mv/(m/s
2
), but a sensor operating outside of this range can be used by
enabling scaling.
(1) Display the CHANNEL1 screen, and set the sensor sensitivity. Multiply the
actual sensor sensitivity to be used by the appropriate factor to produce a
settable number (0.1 to 10), and enter that factor.
(2) Display the SCALING screen, and turn on Charge or Preamp mode for the
channel using the sensor that is outside of the setting range.
(3) Set the same conversion ratio as the sensor sensitivity factor.
Example 1 Sensor sensitivity is 23.4 pC/(m/s
2
):
Multiply sensor sensitivity by 1/2.34 and set 10 pC/(m/s2) as the sensor
sensitivity.
Set the scaling.
Example 2 Sensor sensitivity is 0.05 pC/(m/s2):
Multiply sensor sensitivity by 2 and set 0.1 pC/(m/s
2
) as the sensor
sensitivity.
Set the scaling.
