Sample Rate
The accelerometer is always turned on (when powered) and samples the transducer elements
at a fixed rate. To capture an impact event, the physical event needs to last longer than the
sample period. Larger sample rates have a shorter period and can therefore resolve shorter
impacts. However, sampling the transducer at a larger rate significantly increases the power
usage, impacting battery life.
