Interval Mode
Use interval mode to record time intervals with digital sensors such as photogates.
The New Experiment Setup dialog is shown in Interval mode in Figure 8.
With input A enabled, the DataCollector records the time that photogate A’s beam
was interrupted - this time is labeled T
A
. Input B is ignored.
With input B enabled, the DataCollector records the time that photogate B’s beam
was interrupted - this time is labeled T
B
. Input A is ignored.
With A+B enabled, the DataCollector reports times for both photogates, as well as
the time between interrupting photogate A’s beam and photogate B’s beam. This
third time is labeled T
AB
.
