Dimension Engineering DE-ACCM3D Accelerometer

Post by breadhead » Fri Jan 03, 2014 8:05 pm

Hello everyone,

I am a new member and this is my first post. Does anyone know how I can get the data from the DE-ACCM3D accelerometer into audacity for analysis. I am trying to determine vibration level of a mechanical device which also incorporates a small electric motor. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Jim

Topic moved to "Recording Equipment" as it is primarily a hardware question.
Have you tried coupling the output to a sound card input via a capacitor. A fairly large value will be required as the frequency range of the accelerometer is quite low. A couple of hundred microfarads will probably do the job. If you use a polarised capacitor, check for DC before connecting the capacitor.
