Description

  • The scalar value used to convert the measured output signal (usually in voltage) to motion units. It is equivalent to the sensitivity scale factor of a normalized Laplace transfer function. For a sensor with a flat frequency response, the sensitivity corresponds to some mid-frequency level of the frequency-response amplitude for a specified frequency, often 1 Hz. Sensitivity has units of volts per input unit (e.g., volt per g for strong-motion accelerometers, volt per m/s for velocity meters or volt per rad/s for rotational sensors)
