Student Workbook Physics Labs with Computers, Vol. 1012-07000A Tutorial Activities: Pressure Sensor• In ScienceWorkshop, click-and-drag the ‘analog sensor plug’ icon to the Channel A icon inthe Experiment Setup window, select the name of the sensor from the list of sensors andclick ‘OK’ to return to the Experiment Setup window. Result: The sensor’s icon appearbelows Channel A of the interface.Set up a Graph display of Pressure versus Time• In DataStudio, double click the ‘Graph’ icon in the Displays list. Result: The displayautomatically shows pressure versus time.• In ScienceWorkshop, click-and-drag the ‘Graph’ display icon to the sensor’s icon in theExperiment Setup window. Result: The display automatically shows pressure versus time.Start recording data• In DataStudio, click the ‘Start’ button ( ). In ScienceWorkshop, click the ‘REC’button ( ).• After a few seconds, push the piston in so it is at the 5 cc mark. Then pull the piston out soit is at the 20 cc mark.• Note the change in pressure in the Graph display.Stop recording data• Click ‘Stop’ to end data recording.©1999 PASCO scientific A - 37
