Equipment sensivity
(OP)
Hi all:
I want to ask if i can use an accelerometer with a different sensivity than original, and if yes, do i have to make any correction, how?
Thanks and luck

More generally, yes, you can use different sensitivities, but if you use a different model of accelerometer then it may have a different noise floor, max output, frequency response, and of course mass.

if you're simnply trying to identify resonances, for example, actual amplitudes aren't particularly important, are they?
In which case, accelerometer calibration isn't particularly important either.
