Using the Rotary Motion Sensor with Data Acquisition Software

• Plug the Rotary Motion Sensor Phonon Plugs into two DIG-

ITAL INPUT ports of a compatible PASCO interface (such

as the 850 Universal Interface, ScienceWorkshop 750 USB

Interface, or the ScienceWorkshop 500 Interface with

USB/Serial Adapter). For example, plug the yellow plug

into DIGITAL INPUT 1 and the black plug into DIGITAL

INPUT 2.

• NOTE: If you are using a PASPORT-only PASCO interface

(such as the SPARK SLS), connect the Sensor Phonon Plugs

to a PS-2159 PASPORT Digital Adapter and then plug the adapter into the interface.

• Turn on the compatible interface and start the PASCO data acquisition software.

PASCO Capstone Sensor Setup

• In PASCO Capstone, click “Hardware Setup” in the Tools

palette to open the Hardware Setup panel.

• Confirm that the Hardware Setup panel shows the inter-

face you are using.

• NOTE: If the interface you are using does not appear in the

Hardware Setup panel, click the “Choose Interface” button

and select your interface from the list of choices.

• In the Hardware Setup window, click the “Add Sen-

sor/Instrument” button to open the “Add Sensor or Instru-

ment” window.
