The Double-C accelerometer measure how fast a craft is accelerating.
Usage
Attached to the side of an ascent stage this device can be used to control your acceleration during launch to provide a better and constant ascent, using less fuel for the same orbit. The Double-C displays 4 significant figures, offering much better precision than the g-meter on the navball.
On upper and cruise stages the Double-C accelerometer can be used to estimate the time needed to accelerate to a certain speed. Additionally it can be used to measure the spacecraft's current mass indirectly using Newton's second law.
While active, the accelerometer drains 0.0075 Electric Charge per second (27 E/hr).
