3.1.5 Accelerometer (ACC)
Figure 25: Accelerometer.
Our 3D accelerometer uses Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS®) technology, and
has been especially designed taking into account the requirements of applications where
kinematics and motion measurements are required. Together with our biosignal
acquisition hardware, this sensor can measure sub-milliG accelerations and provides the
raw data of each axis as an independent quantity giving you full control.
How to connect your sensor to your biosignalsplux
The accelerometer can be connected to any of the available analog inputs of your
biosignalsplux device (see 2.3.2 Analog Inputs). This sensor requires up to 3 analog inputs
of your biosignalsplux (1 for each axis).
This sensor does not require an additional reference electrode.
How to configure your sensor in OpenSignals (r)evolution
Open the OpenSignals (r)evolution device manager and select the device you have your
accelerometer connected to. Select the channel(s) of your ACC sensor and select XYZ from
the dropdown menu (click on the arrow in the channel’s field that appears when you
hover over the channel field). We recommend labelling your channels accordingly to your
accelerometer configuration for better visualization purposes.
Activate each channel for signal acquisition by clicking on the circle in the channel field(s)
(circle must be blue).
An example configuration is displayed in Figure 26 (here: ACC connected to channel 1 to
3; channel 1 = x-axis; channel 2 = y-axis; channel 3 = z-axis).
