The captured data values are saved on a SD memory card where you can choose between automatic and manual data storage. By means of the SD memory card the data can be transferred afterwards to a computer in order to analyze it in an excel file. With the PCE-VM 5000 Accelerometer you can choose between different measurement units: for acceleration, the unit m/s², g, and ft/s² are able to be selected; for speed, mm/s, cm/s and inches/s can be used; and for the displacement, mm and inches can be choosen.
