Accelerometer output mA/g; how to get to mV/g?
You add a resistor of appropriate value to ground.
Note that the scale factor is not well controlled- it's actually the current through an internal coil used to balance the accelerometer so it varies ...

Accelerometer output mA/g; how to get to mV/g?
The brochure for this device Q-FlexQA-2000Accelerometer says:
The integral electronics develops an acceleration-proportional output current
providing both static and dynamic acceleration measurement. ...

Accelerometer output mA/g; how to get to mV/g?
To convert from voltage to current, you simply feed the current through a resistor to some reference voltage (e.g. GND) and measure the voltage across the resistor.
You have an output of \$1.2\space[\...
