Introduction
♦ Acceleration Sensor consists a square-shaped probe (built-in sensing element) and adapter. They are connected by a light cable. Fix the square-shaped probe on the object to be measured and it will be able to measure the acceleration which point in front of the probe during motion. The sensor is suitable to explore acceleration for 1D rectilinear motion.
Usage
♦ There is a sensing direction for Acceleration Sensor. Be careful of the direction of sensor probe. The acceleration measuring direction is shown in figure.
♦ You can add the weight of object to be measured because of mass of light cable to improve the accuracy.
♦ Fix the square-shaped probe during using because it is only able to sense one direction. Make sure the probe is aiming the same direction as motion.
Notes
♦ The measured acceleration is vector. Be careful with that.
♦ Zero the sensor before every measuring to ensure the accuracy.
♦ Minimize the effect from light cable.
