neW goniometer<br />

$159<br />

Using a Goniometer and EKG sensor to measure<br />

joint angle and muscle activity<br />

orDer coDe<br />

gnm-bta<br />

the goniometer can be used to measure the dynamic<br />

motion of a limb during different types of physical<br />

activity.<br />

• a set of elastic straps are used to secure the sensor to<br />

the subject.<br />

• The lightweight and fl exible joint arms allow the limb<br />

to move naturally.<br />

• Use it with an eKg sensor to measure muscle activity<br />

during limb motion.<br />

• the sensor can also be detached from the base plate<br />

and fl exible arms so it can be used in a variety of STEM<br />

and engineering activities.<br />

range: 0 to 340° (±170°)<br />

resolution:<br />

12-bit (labQuest, labQuest Mini, labPro, go!link, SensorDaQ): 0.05°<br />

10-bit (cBl, cBl 2, nXt adapter): 0.12°<br />

vernier gPs sensor<br />

$64<br />

the Vernier global Positioning System (gPS) Sensor<br />

collects latitude, longitude, and altitude, right on your<br />

original labQuest* or computer.<br />

• See a real-time graphs of latitude vs. longitude, or<br />

export the data to various mapping programs, including<br />

google Maps or arcgiS.<br />

• connects directly to the USB port on a computer or<br />

original labQuest*<br />

Use gPS to enhance data collection:<br />

• Performing water quality tests at multiple sites? Record<br />

your location as you make measurements, and then<br />

map the data using logger Pro.<br />

• Studying acceleration in a car or train? Collect location<br />

information along with acceleration data and display a<br />

color-coded map.<br />

*Note: Not needed for LabQuest 2. LabQuest 2 has a built-in GPS sensor.<br />

Logger Pro combines GPS data and water quality<br />

sensor data.<br />
