How do I calibrate the data logger output so I know what 1g acceleration should be?

Hello @jperrault.

The WebDAQ 504 comes calibrated from the factory and cannot be field calibrated.  Also, there is no analog output channel on the device.

What is the brand and model of your accelerometer?  Do you have a specifications sheet?

Here's a screen capture from the Job Editor section in the Help.

 

The accelerometer's manufacturer should provide you with a calibration sheet, which includes the sensor sensitivity to use in the WebDAQ application.
