Trains and Toilets
Introduction We received a few requests regarding old example applications that utilized R scripting. The first application note uses an X2-2 logger to count freight trains based on the vibration energy detected. The second application is more fun and humorous but still equally educational. We used vibration energy detected by an X2-2 logger to count…

Analyze Data With R
What is “R” You collected a data set using a GCDC logger and realized, “Wow, that’s a lot of data! Now what?”. Data analysis is tedious and the process is particular to each user’s application. Don’t expect to find a magic software solution that will reduce your data into your perfect answer. However, don’t despair.…

Car Tire Vibration
Introduction Many tires today can last up to 60,000 miles, but tire manufacturers recommend an age limit of about 5 years. As a tire ages, the vulcanized rubber degrades and the tire becomes less pliable, surface cracks appear, and pieces of rubber can dislodge. Furthermore, it’s common to have balancing weights shift on the rim…

Calculating Gravity
Introduction Occasionally, it’s a good idea to check some of the fundamental laws of physics for validity. You never know if those physicists made a mistake or if the nature of the universe recently took a turn for the worse. Here, a USB accelerometer data logger made by Gulf Coast Data Concepts was used to…
