Bar Meter

A bar meter has one or more bars that go up and down as the measurement value changes. In this example, eight temperature sensors are distributed along a metal bar and one end is immersed in boiling water and the other is immersed in ice water. The eight bar meters show the temperatures along the metal bar as it reaches a dynamic equilibrium.

 
 

Sync Multiple Wireless Sensors

With PASCO's new syncing technology, wireless sensors are automatically synced as soon as more than one is plugged in. If you desire to sync them more closely just before recording, you can click on the new sync button on the Sampling Control bar.

 

Open SPARKvue Files in PASCO Capstone

Collect data using a mobile device running SPARKvue Software and then open the SPARKvue file in Capstone for more extensive analysis.

 

Smart Fan Control

  • When the new Smart Fan Accessory is plugged into a Smart Cart, you can control the Smart Fan directly from Capstone.
  • Use the slider to set the thrust.
  • Set the fan to turn on and off based on a measurement (such as Smart Cart Position) or time.
  • Hands off: Start the fan remotely in the software.
  • Use a calculation to define the thrust: Thrust = 10*[Force] will make the thrust proportional to the force exerted on a force sensor.
