Analog Diablog is the place to comment on the articles found in Analog Dialogue (or those that you'd like to see). It can also be used as a discussion forum on products, applications, technology, and techniques for analog, digital, and mixed-signal processing using Analog Devices components.
A single 2- or 3-axis accelerometer can be used to make a simple but relatively accurate pedometer for cost-sensitive applications such as cellular handsets. This note presents an improved algorithm that provides accurate results while running or walking. Open a Dialogue Question the authors. Share information with your colleagues.

Making accurate high-speed time domain measurements can be challenging, but a few tips and tricks, coupled with some good old-fashioned commonsense engineering, can help yield quick and accurate results. When choosing a scope and probe for high-speed measurement, first consider: signal amplitude, source impedance, rise time, and bandwidth. The type of probe and length of the ground lead are also important.
