Hey guys!
If you're ready to do the Position Time Graph lab
sometimes we refer to it as the Graphs of Motion lab
I'm going to walk you through setting that up.
You're gonna click on Logger Pro.
Should be on your desktop
Once that program opens up
you can either use this file folder logo
or you can use the word file
either one is going to allow you...
to open up
we're scrolling down here to Prove and Sensors
and then I'm gonna scroll down to Motion Detector
like that.
and then I'll click motion detector again
"open"
There we go!
Really, the only graph I'm concerned with is this top one
so I'm gonna click on it
It needs this little box right here it kinda stretch out the graph
so it take up my whole screen.
And then I get a better view of my data
When I'm ready to coed data
I'll just push this collect button
it should be green,
wait for the motion detector to make some clicking sounds
and then get started.
The lab has a couple of different parts
When you get to the last part of the lab
where you're doing some position matches
you just go back up here to "File",
"open"
again, you can use the folder
and then we'll be matching up this guys right here.
Position match 1, 2 and 3
So, that's what you need to know to get started.
you know, I'll open up position match 1
"open"
No, I don't need to save anything
so I can just click "no" there
and the position match 1 opens up.
Things to know:
Loose clothes, your I.D, sometimes get picked up by the motion detector
you get weird lines.
So use a folder, or a book, or some solid surface,
hold that in front of you
as you walk in front of the motion detector.
That should clean that line right up!
Have fun!
