When the accelerometer is connected to the DS-2000 and observed the time waveform, why the waveform of 0.2 m/s2 is displayed even there is no vibration?

Because there is DC offset (gap of the direct circuit) of the circuit. This value cannot be made as zero. Offset value can be changed to 1/1000 or less of the voltage range (full scale) by turning ON the auto zero function. For example, when the voltage range is 1 Vrms, the full scale voltage is 1.41 V. So, 1/1000 of it is 0.00141 V (worst value)

 

If the voltage is 0.00141 V, the acceleration is displayed as 1.41 m/s2 when the sensitivity value of the accelerometer is calibrated by 1.0 mV/m/s2. When you measure the small acceleration, the voltage range should below as much as possible.
