Position sensor to velocity via math?
Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2006 2:23 am
I've got a linear position sensor attached parallel to a shock absorber. Looks like I'm getting good data on a 12V analog input.
So, I know how to dump my data to a CSV, open in a spreadsheet, and then calculate shock velocity from the position data. The question is whether there is a way through a User Defined Variable to do it in the DL-1 analysis software. I've poked and prodded and tried things, but I can't see any way to do it. Can it be done?
Anyone got any feel for whether or not 100Hz is a reasonable sampling rate for this kind of data anyway?
