Accelerometer:
Using the ADXL193 accelerometer and the MCP3002 ADC:

What other parts do I need to read from the accelerometer, sample and write out the results to excel.
• Could I connect the MCP3002 to an arduino to record the results or would it be too slow?
• Do I need an external clock?
• Can I write to an SSD card, or should I write to a computer?
• Should I work with LabVIEW?

  1. You can connect MCP3002 without any issues
  2. No need.
  3. You can have SD card to store your data or You can do is write an application that runs on the PC, which basically listens to the serial port, and writes to the file. I would suggest the first option is pretty simple and has more freedom.

Also there is another method which I havent tried yet, using MACROS. You can find them Download - Parallax.
