How do you measure a clipping signal?

Detection. Clipping in a circuit can be detected by comparing the original input signal with an output signal with adjustment for applied gain. For instance, if a circuit has 10 dB of applied gain, it can be tested for clipping by attenuating the output signal by 10 dB and comparing it to the input signal.

How do you know if a signal is clipped?

Clipping can be detected by viewing the signal (on an oscilloscope, for example), and observing that the tops and bottoms of waves aren't smooth anymore.

What is clipping of a signal?

Audio clipping occurs when the input audio signal is at a level that's too high for the system is passing through. It's a form of waveform distortion where an amplifier goes into overdrive since it's pushed past its maximum limits.

What is accelerometer clipping?

Clipping means the accelerometers have been exposed to a level of vibration beyond their full scale measurement range. These are feedback signals for loop control so if they are clipping attitude control cannot be maintained.
