Hi,
I am testing the accelerometer and can see that it also measures the acceleration caused by gravity.
Is there a setting or way to filter gravity out from the reading?
If there is any calculation, could you please share us the same for with gravity and without gravity?
Thanks,
Akshay
Hi Akshay Naik,

[A] Unfortunately we do not have test results of any of our accelerometer without the gravity influence. Our sensors were tested in an environment with the gravity present. If you would want to test our accelerometers without the gravity influence, you would need to take the components in an environment, where the gravity is not present. Into space. But some micro gravity would be still present. These test however would be expensive, which would be reflected into the price of the accelerometers. You can simply test our accelerometers with the gravity and then subtract 1g from the measurement from the axis which is perpendicular to the surface.
Please check the following application notes to see how the FXLS8962 works. AN12004 and AN5311.
