Model No.CI-6538 Introduction Mounting the Rotary Motion Sensor The rod clamp fits rods up to 12.7 mm in diameter, such as the ME-8736 45 cm Stainless Steel Rod, and the rod clamp can be attached to the sensor in three different locations: at the end opposite to the cable and on either side of the case. Case Rod clamp Use the included hex key to loosen the two screws that hold the rod clamp on the Rotary Motion Sensor case.

Rotary Motion Sensor Introduction Mounting the Rotary Motion Sensor to a Large “A” Base The Rotary Motion Sensor can be mounted on the base of the Rotating Platform (ME-8951) using the “A” Base Rotational Adapter (CI-6690, available separately). Rotary Motion Sensor Adapter Bracket The “A” Base Rotational Adapter includes an adapter bracket, a three-step pulley, a drive belt (“O” ring), and a shoulder screw.

Model No.CI-6538 Introduction Pendulum Setup Point Mass Setup Attaching the Chaos/Harmonic Motion Accessory to the Rotary Motion Sensor The Chaos/Harmonic Motion Accessory (CI-6689A) is a driven damped physical pendulum. Various types of phase plots can be made as the driving frequency, driving amplitude, initial conditions, and amount of damping are varied. The Magnetic Damping Attachment attaches to either side of the Rotary Motion Sensor in the same way as the rod clamp is attached.

Model No.CI-6538 Introduction Using the Rotary Motion Sensor with Data Acquisition Software • Plug the Rotary Motion Sensor Phonon Plugs into two DIGDIGITAL ITAL INPUT ports of a compatible PASCO interface (such INPUT ports as the 850 Universal Interface, ScienceWorkshop 750 USB Sensor Phone Plugs Interface, or the ScienceWorkshop 500 Interface with USB/Serial Adapter). For example, plug the yellow plug Yellow Plug into DIGITAL INPUT 1 and the black plug into DIGITAL INPUT 2.
