kUsing Setup Wizard to Configure a PhotoGate Setup

Connection of a Vernier PhotoGate requires configuration of setup parameters that are slightly different from parameters for other types of sensors.

u To configure a setup for PhotoGate alone

1.Perform the first two steps of the procedure under “To configure an EA-200 setup using Setup Wizard” on page 2-2.

2.On the “Select Sensor” screen, select [VERNIER] - [Photogate] - [Gate].

This displays a screen where you specify whether PhotoGate is connected to the CH1 or SONIC channel.

3.Press 1 to specify CH1 or 2 to specify SONIC.

• This causes a “Gate Status” screen to appear.

“Open” means the photo path is not blocked, while “Close” means the photo path is blocked.

The gate status defines what PhotoGate status should cause timing to start, and what status should cause timing to stop.

Open-Open ......

Timing starts when the gate opens, and continues until it closes and

 

then opens again.

Open-Close ......

Timing starts when the gate opens, and continues until it closes.

Close-Open ......

Timing starts when the gate closes, and continues until it opens.

Close-Close ......

Timing starts when the gate closes, and continues until it opens and
