Abstract :
Accelerometer is a mechanical or an electronic sensing device, typically used in detecting both static acceleration (gravity or G-value) and dynamic acceleration (centrifugal or linear acceleration). The present method provides a calibration system for Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) accelerometer for using it as tilt and seismograph sensor. The calibration system includes a calibration clamp, placed on a calibrated platform and a low cost microcontroller base data acquisition board.
