The plug-in sensors

Sensors plug into the sockets labelled A and
B at the top of the Vu+ logger
When a sensor is connected it will
automatically be detected and displayed on
the LCD display.
Sensors can be divided into two main types:
1. Analogue – used to measure physical quantities such as temperature, sound, light, pH, etc.
2. Digital - switch-type sensors (e.g. Light gates and Timing mats) that are either ON or OFF and
are used to calculate time, speed and acceleration.
Please contact your supplier for an up-to-date list of Vu+ sensors.

Ways to capture data with Vu+

There are different ways that Vu+ can be used to collect data.
1. As a standalone instrument:
Vu+ is used to display, collect and store data while disconnected from the computer. I.e.
a. Display readings on its LCD screen (but not stored) using Meter or Stopwatch mode.
b. Displayed, collected and stored using Vu+'s logging menu options e.g. Pictogram, EasyLog,
Snapshot, Timing and Counting.
