Timing is used to study time-based events such as velocity, acceleration, momentum, and kinetic energy. Switch-type (digital) sensors such as Light Gates, Switches and Timing Mats are used. 



Connect the digital sensors being used to the interface, measurements can be taken from either a single sensor connected to Input A, or from two sensors connected to both Input A and B. 

The graph will be pre-set to record as a bar graph display against reading number. 


•Set the Mode as Timing. 

•Select the Timing Mode that is needed.     

•Choose which type of timing event (Where?) that will be needed. 

•Apparatus? A variety of timing devices can be chosen – select one that is used in your experiment. 

•Select the Start and Stop conditions (when stop is selected, after a duration, or after a chosen number of samples). 


Select ► Start. When a signal change from the digital sensor/sensors is received, the timing measurement will automatically be entered. The vertical axis automatically adjusts to match the largest value collected.


The Stop conditions that pertain to this dialogue follow the same conditions as those defined in the section above.
