194 Guidelines for Setting the Full Scale Value
If there are signals in excess of this level then increase the Full Scale
value to the next higher value, 0.5 in this example. If there are no
extraneous signals that exceed this value then proceed with setting the
Full Scale at the selected value, 0.17 in this example.
IMPORTANT
Step 4 is necessary only in applications where an
acceleration input is integrated to velocity (ips, mm/s) or
displacement (mils, µm) and where high frequency
(>5 kHz) acceleration signals are likely present.
