Accelerometer in DASYLab

[Ian Scatena]

I´m using an IEPE accelerometer in DASYLab with the DT9837. I´ve got the output signal in V, but I´d like to see the output in g´s or in m/s^2. How should I configure the channel and then program it in DasyLab in order to have the signal I want?

Or maybe I´ve just need to take that value in V and multiply it by the accelerometer sensitivity?

Hello,

Use the Mathematics->Scaling module after the DT9837 input module. Use linear scaling as the type of module. On the setup page, use the default linear function. Leave b=0 and set a=1 / sensitivity. For example, if you have a 100 mV/g sensor, a=10. For units, type 'g' in the unit drop box. It's only a text label, so you could have bananas as the units if you wanted.

Best regards,
John
