Hi All,

I'm a first time poster.

I have a lot of data in the X-Y-Z direction from a triaxial accelerometer that had been placed inside a network appliance to understand the accelleration experienced on the unit during induced vibration. Can anyone advise the best method for analyzing this data? How do I calculate the absolute magnitude of G for experienced on the unit given all directions of output vibration.

Thanks.

I don't know anything about this, so I don't think i can help you. Anyways, what kind of units is your data in? Looks like you would simply take the ratio of the distance moved and the time to get your acceleration, and hence your G force. Where exactly are you having the trouble?
