Description
The USB Accelerometer X16-1C uses a low
noise digital accelerometer sensor, precise time
stamped data logging, microSD memory
storage, real-time data access and USB
connectivity. Acceleration is collected in X, Y,
and Z axes and stored at a user selectable rate
of up to 200hz. When connected via the USB
to a personal computer, the X16-1C appears as
a standard mass storage device containing the
comma delimited data files and user setup files.
The commercial standard “AA” battery
provides extended life operation suitable to
long term data acquisition applications.
