Subject: Could I be over Damped?

HI Folks,  I just posted three files TCIDtm=3D2 second tiltmeter =
pointing E/W

 TCIDS2=3D2 second vertical spring slinky,

 and TCIDNB=3D22 second nearly balanced pointing N/S

I don't know how to read FFT,  but I am trying to understand it.

To me the TCIDNB maybe over dampened?   I set the Damp, by moving the =
arm 10 mm, releasing it and it moved passed center just a bit and =
returned to center and stopped.   Basically the same way I set the Damp =
on the other two sensors.

I know you need less damp, if you have a longer period.  This one is 22 =
seconds.

All three picked up the 3.3M  Nevada 080315.162234, but the TCIDNB was =
the smallest recording.








HI Folks,  I just posted three = files TCIDtm=3D2=20 second tiltmeter pointing E/W
