NeuLog NUL-209 Quick Start Manual

NeuLog photo gate logger sensor
NUL-209
The NeuLog photo gate sensor can be used for any science experiment or
activity which involves taking accurate velocity and/or acceleration
measurements especially in the field of Physics.
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-
209 sensors are: velocity/acceleration/distance relationships, impulse,
collisions, conservation of energy, force, momentum, and many more.
The photo gate sensor uses an infrared beam which detects if an object is
passing through it. Therefore the sensor actively reads out as "open" or
"blocked". While collecting data however there are several parameters to
truly customize your experiment:

Velocity with a single gate

Velocity with two gates

Acceleration with a single gate

Acceleration with two gates

Change in time between two gates

Velocities with timing cards.
Experiment customization is explained after the following quick start guide.

Notes:
The photo gate sensor cannot work together with any of the other NeuLog
sensors. A special message appears when other sensor is connected with the
photo gate sensor.
The photo gate sensor cannot work at off-line mode because the computer is
mandatory for its operation options. The off-line option is eliminated when
the software finds that the photo gate sensor is connected.
The photo gate sensor cannot work with the monitor display unit VIEW-
101.
Quick start procedure:
PC or Mac Computer
Materials needed:
 NUL-209 Photo Gate Sensor
 USB-200 USB Module
 A USB to mini USB cable (which comes with the USB-200)
Your photo gate 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 photo gate sensor directly into
the computer.
