Fourier Timer plus Operation & User’s Manual

that will meet all of your needs for time and motion measurements in kinematics: time, velocity, acceleration and position. The timer is very easy to use. When you plug in a sensor, the timer automatically recognizes it. Press one button to select the measurement you want and you are ready to start recording. The Timer has large 6 digits display. The display include information about the active sensor, the type of measurement and units You can use four different sensors: one photogate, two ...

7.1 Sensor buttons A Measures time or velocity with one Photogate A→B Measures time or acceleration between two Photogates. Measures velocities in each of the photogates and displays it alternately. Pulley Smart Pulley. Measures velocity or distance of a string tangent to the pulley Distance Sonic ranger, measures distance to a moving object 7.2 Measurement Button Select the quantity you want to measure: m Distance m/s Velocity m/s2 Acceleration s Time ...

Measures the velocity between entering and exiting the 1st (A) photogate. The calculation is done assuming that the moving object width is 3cm. Use the 3cm motion card for all velocity and acceleration measurements. 6.3.2 Two gates Measures the velocity in both photogates and Timer displays the velocities alternately. Use this mode for collision experiments with one or two carts. The calculation is done assuming that the moving object width is 3cm. Use the 3cm motion card. 6.3.3 Smart pulley Measures velocity of a string tangent to the pulley. The pulle ...

between entering the 1st photogate and entering the 2nd photogate – ∆t, the time the object blocks the 2nd (B) pulley – ∆t2 and then calculates the acceleration: t t x t x a ∆ ∆ ∆ − ∆ ∆ = 1 2 Where cm x 3 = ∆ is the motion card width. The calculation is done assuming that the moving object width is 3cm. Use the 3cm motion card. 6.5 Distance 6.5.1 Distance sensor The distance sensor is ultrasonic radar. It sends ultrasonic pulses to the moving body and measures the time it tak ...

For best results the object that blocks the gate should be matte black. The object should pass through the gate as near as possible to the IR receiver, which is located on the arm that is connected to the mounting rod (the fixed arm in the adjustable Photogate). 6.2 Time 6.2.1 One gate Measures the time interval between entering and exiting the 1st (A) photogate. 6.2.2 Two gates Measures the time interval between entering the 1st (A) photogate and entering the 2nd (B) photogate.
