1. Identify the exact accelerometer and range field
Begin with the actual accelerometer component or supplied assembly and its complete manufacturer code. Preserve an assembly identifier separately where the offer concerns a populated board or measurement product. A machine's sensor tag may locate history, but it should not replace the identity of the component being described. Record which item and quantity unit the owner is releasing.
Place the range description beside its evidence source and state its role. A manufacturer document may describe supported options, an ordering record may identify a supplied variant, and an owner record may describe a previous selection. Those references answer different questions. Keep their original wording and dates where available so the recipient can distinguish capability from information about the actual offered group.
If the stock line contains a range with no supporting reference, preserve that entry as an unresolved description. Ask the technical owner whether it came from a catalogue, order or configuration record. Do not silently promote it to a confirmed present setting. An incomplete code or a mixed assembly list can leave the scope of that range entry uncertain even when the sensor family is known.
2. Separate selectable capability from actual setting
The first page of Analog Devices' ADXL362 datasheet describes selectable measurement ranges. This supports stating that the identified product has a documented selectable capability. It does not tell this reviewer which range an offered unit currently uses. The scope here is that first-page distinction; no configuration commands, register interpretation or numerical range selection is supplied.
When describing a capability, use language that leaves selection open. Keep any actual configuration record in a separate setting field, identifying the units or assembly revision it covers. A catalogue's set of available options should not be entered as though all those options describe the simultaneous current state of every device in the released inventory.
Where a seller has an old setting record, retain its date and context rather than converting it into a new read-back. Explain if the record predates removal, storage or a later assembly change. If current configuration evidence is absent, disclose that gap. This enquiry does not change settings or assume a default merely to make the spreadsheet appear complete.
3. Keep range separate from resolution and calibration
Keep measurement range, reported resolution and calibration evidence independently identified. A stock field labelled range should preserve the quantity and basis actually documented, rather than being overwritten by a data-format description. This guide does not derive resolution from a selected range or state a numerical measurement result. Missing exact-product detail remains a request for the responsible technical reviewer.
An existing configuration record is not itself a calibration report. If the owner has a separate assessment, retain its identifiers, date, stated conditions and covered units. Explain whether it relates to a component, a board or a finished instrument. Do not extend an instrument-level record to loose devices without evidence linking the record to the material and the relevant scope.
Describe known previous installation and observable package or board issues separately from the range fields. A readable code and an intact enclosure help describe identity and appearance; they do not assess present measurement accuracy. Keep unknown handling or configuration changes explicit. The first-page product description does not supply current calibration, noise performance or a report from the seller's actual units.
4. Offer groups with configuration gaps visible
Arrange the released groups by exact identity and supported evidence, distinguishing capability-only entries from groups with an identified setting record. Keep the actual quantity covered by each record visible. If several boards share a sensor code but have different or unknown configuration histories, preserve those differences instead of advertising one range as the established state of the entire list. A setting note for one board should retain that board identifier instead of becoming an unexplained range entry for loose sensors.
Use the excess-stock list for location, packing, ownership and release authority. The related pressure-sensor guide addresses pressure-reference identity; this accelerometer review addresses selectable measurement capability versus settings. Retain that narrower distinction when describing the technical evidence, so a generic sensor range field does not conceal whether an offered value is an option or a supported configuration record.
For an ICULTRA accelerometer-stock enquiry, send complete identifiers, the source and role of each range description, and the available configuration records. State missing present-setting evidence directly and ask what further identification is needed. A capability entry is useful for review, but it does not establish usable condition, measurement accuracy or purchase eligibility. Accepted groups, any evaluation and commercial terms require separate confirmation.
