Re: How to measure low velocity

I believe if you look through the data sheet carefully, you will find that the capacitor and bandwidth is an attempt to quiet down some noisey data. By bandwidth limiting the high frequency energy, you should get a more accurate output.
It seems that I remember someone (a thread perhaps) that discussed rapidly taking samples and averaging over 10 or fifteen ( or more) samples to look for trends. By knowing where you were before you may be able to find out where you are now.
