Patent ID: 8032315

Claim:
A system for analyzing a device including a mass configured for motion, comprising: a tri-axial accelerometer disposed to detect acceleration vectors of the device, the tri-axial accelerometer outputting three channels of acceleration data; and a user interface receiving the three channels of acceleration data, the user interface being configured to correlate the three channels of acceleration data with a reference frame defined by three orthogonal axes intersecting at a vertex, the user interface including— a display configured to (1) show a set of options representing dispositions of the device with respect to gravity, (2) show a set of options representing placements of the tri-axial accelerometer with respect to the device, and (3) show a set of options representing orientations of the tri-axial accelerometer with respect to the device, and a selector configured to select one device disposition option, one tri-axial accelerometer placement option, and one tri-axial accelerometer orientation option.
