Table 6 Accelerations (m*s-2) needed to produce 1000 accelerometer count*min-1. Data are means and standard deviations calculated in four different settings at three different time points in the mechanical setting.

From: Unit-specific calibration of Actigraph accelerometers in a mechanical setup – Is it worth the effort? The effect on random output variation caused by technical inter-instrument variability in the laboratory and in the field
