Introduction

The PS-2136A 3-Axis Acceleration/Altimeter Sensor 

is capable of five simultaneous measurements: 

acceleration (change of velocity with respect to time) 

in three axes: X, Y, and Z, resultant acceleration, 

and altitude. The units of measure for acceleration 

include m/s

2

 (meters per second squared) and g 

(acceleration due to Earth gravity), and the units for 

altitude include meters (m) and feet (ft). 

The sensor is designed to work with a 

PASPORT-compatible interface and PASCO data 

collection software.
