Hi,

I am wondering how to calibrate the acceleration sensors. The sensors I am working with are very similar to what we have on FPGA development boards. I have readout electronics for sensors with can measure from 10 g to 100 g. I am not sure if get the accurate reading. I am wondering if there is available calibrated vibrating surface on which I can put my acceleration sensors and correct the reading.
 

Hi,

usually the sensor manaufacturers provide informations on how to calibrate the sensors.
Do a search on their internet site and/or contact them.

And you first need to know what you want to calibrate: Offset, gain, linearity, AC, DC...
