#180258 - Oscilloscope
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Look at the output from your piezo device with an oscilloscope.

That should give you an idea about the time scale of the event, i.e. if you can just use a standard ADC and sample at x kHz or if you need to use a sample-and-hold circuit. The advantage with a fast enough ADC is of course that you will not just get the maximum amplitude of the signal. You will get full envelope, decay, ...

What quality you need is a completely different issue.
