In this study we have assembled hardware and software to be used for measuring of mechanical vibrationsin the FREIA-laboratory at Uppsala University. We have utilized an Arduino microcontroller as a slaveI/O and equipped it with dual accelerometers to be used for vibration measurements and a serial adapterwhich was used to connect the hardware to an EPICS IOC for analysis. Data from the two accelerometershave then been cross correlated in order to find a transfer function. Our results where in good agreementwith theory.
