5. Tips on using the Timing Wizard

•
Attach a flag to the moving body
When measuring the motion of a moving cart it is convenient to attach a vertical flag
to the cart (see picture below). You can mount a slotted wooden block on the cart
and insert the flag onto the slot, or use masking tape to attach the flag to one side of
the cart.
Use a double flag to measure acceleration at one gate. The width of the two flags
must be the same.
•
Use the cursors
Use the cursors (see page 44) to select the graph and data range to which you want
to apply the Timing Wizard.
