To check if the phase difference was related to the DAQ, I switched both channels. It&amp;#39;s not related to the DAQ. It&amp;#39;s either caused by the front end (Michael&amp;#39;s for the disk, inside the sensor housing for the industrial sensor). Or by the positions of the two sensors. The industrial one sits on top of the vibration hotspot. The Piezo disk a few centimetres away. Setup: And a statistical view, of the piezo disk with Michael&amp;#39;s front end only: The acceleration calculation value isn&amp;#39;t correct, because I haven&amp;#39;t specified/calibrated the disk &amp;amp; front-end voltage vs acceleration. You can see that the FFT graph finds the correct resonance frequency at 40 Hz.</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: The Predictive Maintenance Tale - piezo element voltages</title><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/tales4makers/f/forum/51513/the-predictive-maintenance-tale---piezo-element-voltages/203693</link><pubDate>Fri, 09 Dec 2022 13:04:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:0dfd5c5d-3687-42bf-b041-14914082fdf7</guid><dc:creator>Jan Cumps</dc:creator><description>I&amp;#39;ve been putting it to the test.

You need one big decoupling cap but its very hard to see any way round that. If you give the sensor a really big thump the voltage across C3 will chang so you need to pick the time constant of C3 and R3//R4 carefully. A better performance can be obtained with an active voltage divider but thats more parts. A really nice op amp for this would be the TI OPA375 but they are currently hard to get. The MCP601 suggested by /members/scottiebabe would work but isn&amp;#39;t rail to rail input so is kind of near its limit with a 3.3V supply (OK with 5V). It is noisey but this probably won&amp;#39;t matter too much. The NCV20166 from Onsemi looks good on paper and Farnell have stock (3528474). I&amp;#39;ve never used them.
