Gents, we have a Picoscope 3424 and plan to do some work with an accelerometer - the aim is to measure frequency and displacement of a vibrating table (for concrete compaction). Can the standard software do this kind of analysis? Frequencies range from 20 to 60 Hz and displacements around 1mm

Hi and thank you for your post.
I would need to find out more about your experiment but this dose looks like something that can be easily achievable with the 3424. If you can provide the following information:
1) What your inputs are?
2) How quick do you want to sample?
3) How long you want to sample for?
The more information you can provide, the more I will be able to help you.
Kind regards.

Ziko,
1 input from a single accelerometer (vertical acceleration)
Sample rate - I think between 2 to 5K would be enough
Sample duration - a fews sconds would be ample

Hi from the information you provide I would say that yes you can do this,
I would recommend using PicoLog and using fast block mode, you can also trigger on it.
Try for example a timebase of 410us and 50000 samples, this will give you 20 seconds of results, depending on the voltage you might get out of the accelerometer I would choose you the closest range to the maximum amplitude to give a good accuracy.
Have a play around with it and let me know if you have further questions.
Kind regards
