The Calculator Window shown above displays a simple calculation for a velocity. "0.022" represents the length of a solid object that is passing through a photogate. It was either typed from the keyboard or entered via the Calculator Window keypad. The "@1.tGate" was selected from the <INPUT> menu. The "@" signifies sensor data in the Science WorkshopTM program. The "1.tGate" means that it is the time for the photogate connected to input channel 1. Therefore, this calculation is just a distance divided by a time. |
