Understanding Axis definition for the TgForce3D sensor

The TgForce3D sensor is equipped with a triaxial accelerometer. All axis (X,Y,Z) are sampled at 1600Hz
for impact detection. After an impact has been detected, the peak value for each axis is recorded into
memory and transmitted by Bluetooth to the IOS device. The 3D resulting vector is also calculated.

It is important to install and position the sensor correctly for accurate measurement.
