Real-world advice for working with accelerometers

DJB’s How-to guides are designed to complement the popular Accelerometers: The Truth and More live training course, delivered to engineers around the world. These guides take a down-to-earth, practical approach—no heavy theory, no overwhelming maths—just the essential knowledge you need to make better decisions in the lab or on the test rig.

Each guide covers a specific topic, from mounting techniques to sensor selection and signal interpretation. We focus on what engineers ask us about most, sharing insights that can help avoid common mistakes, improve data accuracy, and get more from your vibration tests.
