accelerometer interfacing with vi

dear sir!
i have got to test the vibration of a bearing using accelerometer. i dont have a charge amplifier but instead have a charge to voltage converter. how can i interface this with tbx 68(i possess) .my daq card is pci 6025e.please do help

adav,

Connect the output of your charge coverter to the analog input pins of your tbx 68 in a differential configuration (pin 68 is AI0 and pin 43 is AI8).  If your charge converter is not grounded (is floating) make sure you use bias resistors to give your signal a reference to ground.

Next, you will need to setup your measurement in MAX.  Setup a voltage task, make sure your input range for your task matches the output range of the charge converter.  You will need to create a scale to convert the voltage measurements from your charge converter to the proper acceleration values.

I hope this helps get you started.  Please reply with more specific questions as needed.
