Function and Applications
Use the Cobra SMARTsense Photogate to measure timing in dynamic processes in the range from 0 … ∞ s and investigate the basic concepts of motion with your pupils in a child’s play way.
With sampling rates of up to 1 kHz and a resolution of 0.01 s, the digital photogate sensor can be used flexibly in experiments ranging from free fall to pendulum experiments.
Connect the Cobra SMARTsense Photogate wirelessly via Bluetooth or wired via USB to the free and award-winning measuring software measureAPP – available for iOS, Android, Windows and Linux.
Switch on. Connect. Start measuring.
