Product Notes
Reading Intervals
The Shock101 samples at 512Hz and at the user specified reading rate, the device writes
the peak values (g-force) to memory.
For Example:
Axis Orientation
When the Shock101 is laying flat with the label facing
up, the x-axis reads left to right on a horizontal plane,
and will read ~0g’s when still. The y-axis reads top to
bottom on a horizontal plane and will read ~0g’s when
still. The z-axis reads perpendicular to the other two
axis’s, and will read around ~1g’s_ when still.
