What is Acceleration Sensing?

Acceleration sensing refers to the movement of an object from one point to another along a straight line or axis. It includes translational movement such as position and orientation.

Typical acceleration/ translational sensing applications and functions:

Discrete acceleration/ translational sensing applications call for low-g accelerometers or high-g accelerometers.
