Instructions

The first photo depicts the setup of 2M Pasco track with cart and motion sensor (hooked to Science Workshop 750 interface ). The slotted masses serve to give several distinct inclination angles to the track. The next photo

gives a closer look at the sensor end and track end elevators.

The third photo

shows the USB Interface (with its power supply attached on the rear and the two plugs from the sensor plugged into the front) connected by means of the light colored output cable on the rear running to a USB port on the lecture hall PC as seen in the next photo.

One then runs the Data Studio software on the PC and outputs the PC monitor to the room Media Interface, as depicted in the last photo for the case of single projector mode of operation.
