Subject: Setting magnetic damping level

I am a novice and working on a small vertical seismometer. I have
Larry's amplifier and A/D. My current approach to assessing the damping
is to move the coil some distance from the magnet and watch the wave
form following a 1 mm drop of the arm.
Are there other approaches?
How should the properly damped waveform look?
I have moved the VS under the house into the crawl space for now. This
is far better than my shaking house.
Robert
