Accelerometer?

I have been playing with an Analog Devices high G accelerometer and was courious on how to turn the reading into actual acceleration (ex. Ft. per Sec.)?
What I have done is:
· 1. Take a few at rest readings and average together for Average Acel.
· 2. Then take the ADC(accelerometer) reading and subtract the Average Acel.
··3. After this I divide by 100 and round.
· 4. Adding the first 2 cells in row H displaying the sum in row I.
· 5.Then take this sum plus the 3rd cell in row H placing this sum in cell 2 of row I. (And so on down the line.)
I don't think this is right but it's all I can come up with. If you look at the chart there is no deacceleration.
Any help or suggestions would be extremly helpful.
