Is there any way I can make a quick accelerometer sensitivity check without doing a complete calibration?
A. Yes, TMS and PCB Group offers a portable 1 g shaker that can be used in non-critical applications to quickly check an accelerometer sensitivity at a single point fixed reference frequency. The 1g shaker is also useful for sending a 1g test signal end-to-end in multi channel systems to validate cable continuity and basic measurement channel scaling. It is important to remember, however, that the 1g shaker should not be considered a substitute for complete accelerometer calibration.
