this is the 

LIS3DSH

  accelerometer on stm32f4discovery board

0.12 mg/digit sensitivity it has how to calculate exact output with respect to unit of g

is there any tutorial or documentation that  explain stuff.

It's just basic maths, you take the 16-bit signed integer, cast it into something like a float or double, and scale it.

ie float x = (float)OUT_X  * 0.12e-3; // x is now a value in units G

The OUT_X holds a value +32767 to -32768, or +/-3.93G, ie think 32768.0 * 0.12e-3
