Student Workbook Physics Labs with Computers, Vol. 1012-07000A Tutorial Activities: Temperature SensorTemperature SensorThe Temperature Sensor has a temperaturesensitive integrated circuit in its tip thatproduces a voltage that is proportional totemperature. The sensor is covered withTeflon® tubing that is very chemicalresistant. The sensor includes a removableTeflon sensor cover that is highly chemicalresistant.The sensor’s operating range is from –5 ˚Cto 105 ˚C. Do not use the sensor in a direct flame or on a hot plate.500 scientificPASCOInterfacescientific300PASCOANALOG CHANNELSScience W orkshop D A TA LO G G ING INSTRUCTIONSScienceWorkshopInterfaceSet up the sensor• Plug the sensor’s DIN plug into Analog Channel A on the interface.Set up the sensor in the software• In DataStudio, double-click the name of the sensor in the Sensors list in the ExperimentSetup window.
