To use the Visual
Accelerometer
inside another
moving reference,
such as an elevator,
best results are
obtained if the unit
is mounted to a
stand. Use the two
black, plastic rod
clamps from the
Visual
Accelerometer
Accessory. Insert
two 1/4-20 plastic thumb screws through the top of the Accelerometer
case, and securely fasten the clamps.
