  • 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…

  • What is an Accelerometer

    How does a MEMS Accelerometer Work? Acceleration is the change in velocity. A stationary body has no acceleration, and a body moving at a constant velocity has no acceleration. However, a body changing from a stationary condition to motion experiences acceleration by means of a force. Newton’s second law establishes this relationship as F=ma. An…

  • Analyze Data With R

    What is “R” You collected a data set using a GCDC logger and realized, โ€œWow, that’s a lot of data! Now what?โ€. 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.…
