The SCC-ACC01 accelerometer (ACC) input module accepts an active
accelerometer input signal, passes it through a 0.8 Hz highpass filter,
amplifies it, and then passes it through a 19 kHz lowpass Bessel filter and
an output buffer. The module has a fixed gain of 2, so the maximum input
range is ±5 V. The SCC-ACC01 also provides a 4 mA current source for
accelerometer excitation.
The following conventions are used in this guide:
Angle brackets that contain numbers separated by an ellipsis represent
a range of values associated with a bit or signal name—for example,
P0.<3..0>.
The » symbol leads you through nested menu items and dialog box options
to a final action. The sequence File»Page Setup»Options directs you to
pull down the File menu, select the Page Setup item, and select Options
from the last dialog box.
This icon denotes a note, which alerts you to important information.
This icon denotes a caution, which advises you of precautions to take to
avoid injury, data loss, or a system crash. When this symbol is marked on
the product, refer to the Read Me First: Safety and Radio-Frequency
Interference document, shipped with the product, for precautions to take.
When symbol is marked on a product, it denotes a warning advising you to
take precautions to avoid electrical shock.
When symbol is marked on a product, it denotes a component that may be
hot. Touching this component may result in bodily injury.

    – Coupling Filter Figure 1. SCC-ACC01 Signal Connections The signal source can be floating or ground-referenced. The SCC-ACC01 input circuitry includes high-impedance bias resistors typically required for floating sources. External bias resistors connected to ground are not required. For floating signal sources in high-noise environments, connect the negative terminal of the signal source to the AI GND terminal on the SC-2345 screw-terminal block to reduce common-mode noise.
