Student Workbook Physics Labs with Computers, Vol. 1012-07000A Tutorial Activities: Voltage SensorVoltage SensorThe Voltage Sensor measures voltages from –10 volts to +10volts. The probe ends are stackable banana plugs. The sensorcomes with two insulated alligator clips.500 scientificPASCOInterfaceScience W orkshop DATA LOGGING INSTRUCTIONSscientific300For this activity you need a 1.5 volt battery.Set up the sensor with the interface• Connect the Voltage Sensor’s DIN plug into AnalogChannel A on the interface.Set up the sensor in the software• In DataStudio, double-click the name ofthe sensor in the Sensors list in theExperiment Setup window. Result: Thesensor icon appears below Channel A ofthe interface. The sensor’s parametersappear in the Data list.PASCOANALOG CHANNELSFind the nameof the sensor.ScienceWorkshopInterface• In ScienceWorkshop, click-and-drag the‘analog sensor plug’ icon to the ChannelA icon in the Experiment Setup window, select the name of the sensor from the list ofsensors and click ‘OK’ to return to theExperiment Setup window. Result: Thesensor’s icon appears below Channel A ofthe interface.Set up a ‘Meter’ display• In DataStudio, double-click the ‘Meter’icon in the Display list. Result: TheMeter display shows ‘Voltage, ChA’ and‘Meter 1’ appears in the Display list.©1999 PASCO scientific A - 45
