The next window you will see is the 'Acceleration' window
(see Figure 8 ). The reading displayed is the current g -value
that the G-Analyst is reading. If the G-Analyst is mounted
slightly nose-down, then the reading is in negative g's. If
the G-Analyst is mounted slightly nose-up, then the reading
is in positive g's.
When you are ready to test, tap the 'OK' button. The G-
Analyst will begin a short calibration procedure. When the
unit is finished calibrating, you will hear a beep (make sure
your system sound is turned on!) and GO! will be displayed
on the screen. If you receive a ‘Tilt’ error, then you need to
reposition the unit and try again.
Start accelerating (the G-Analyst will not start without you!).
The progress bar will fill with the increase in your speed.
A beep will sound when the test is complete. The results
will be displayed (See Figure 9) along with the option of
‘Graph’ or ‘Exit.’
If you choose ‘Exit,’ you will return to the ‘Home’ screen. If
you choose ‘Graph,’ you will have the option of reviewing
your results graphically. Please see the Graphing section
for more details.
