NeuLog NUL-226 Manual

NeuLog rotary motion logger sensor
NUL-226
The NeuLog rotary motion sensor can be used for any science experiment
or activity which involves rotary motion including angular velocity, angular
acceleration, and revolutions per second such as in the fields of Mechanics,
Physics, Biomechanics, etc.
The sensor comes pre-calibrated so you can start experimentation right out
of the box using this guide.
Hundreds of possible experimental subjects that can be done with the NUL-
226 sensors are: rotary motion studies, angular velocity, angular
acceleration, sin waves, torque, engine studies, and many more.
The rotary motion sensor uses the following units of measure:

Degrees (°): The standard unit for measuring angles

Radians per second (rad/s): The angular displacement's rate of
change.

Radians per second squared (rad/s
change.

Revolutions per second (rev/s): The total number of complete
revolutions per second.

Using the rotary motion sensor:
The rotary motion sensor is can be set up in your classroom or lab in many
different configurations:

Connect the revolving head to a conveyor system.

Roll the revolving head along a surface.

Spin the revolving head manually.
Quick start procedure:
PC or Mac Computer
Materials needed:
 NUL-226 Rotary Motion Sensor
 USB-200 USB Module
 USB to mini USB cable (included with the USB-200 module)
Your rotary motion sensor needs to be connected to a USB-200 module.
The USB-200 module then connects to a computer via a USB to mini-USB
cable. Please note that you cannot plug the rotary motion sensor directly
into the computer.
