Some software is available from the manufacturer for strong motion analyst software package (SMA, designed for earthquake engineers, seismologists and academic researchers to process strong motion accelerograms.

Full information about this company's products is on their website, at http://www.kinemetrics.com/index.html

Each system comes with 3 FBA-11 uni-axial motion sensors. From the manufacturers website comes the following information :

These are Low Noise Force Balance Accelerometers Kinemetrics' line of force balance accelerometers includes the uniaxial FBA-1 1 and the triaxial FBA-23. These instruments are high-sensitivity, low frequency devices characterized by rugged construction and proven reliability. The FBA-11 and FBA-23, housed in watertight cast aluminum cases, are suitable for a variety of seismic, structural and commercial applications. Since its creation in 1971, the design has been steadily improved, resulting in the excellent performance of today's FBA. Improvements include an accelerometer designed for downhole applications. General Description The FBA-11 and FBA-23 are spring-mass devices using variable capacitance transduction and electromagnetic feedback, as shown in the schematic below. The output is fed back to the torquer coil, which is an integral part of the mass. From the coil, the feedback loop is completed through resistors Rh and Rs This stiffens the system, thereby increasing the natural frequency to 50 Hz. Resistor Ro and capacitor Co control the damping, normally adjusted to 70% critical. The acceleration sensitivity is controlled by the gain Kp of the post-amplifier. Aluminum pivot support blocks are used to maintain long-term drift-free stability of the accelerometer mass. The FBA-11 uniaxial accelerometer housing can be mounted to either a horizontal or vertical surface using flanges and bolt slots which are part of the molded casting: thus there is no need to reorient the accelerometer when a horizontal mounting surface is not available. The FBA-23 has three accelerometers orthogonally mounted on an internal deck plate. Each of these units, housed in cast aluminum base and cover, is sealed to prevent the entrance of moisture and dirt.
