Benefits

• Especially accurate and reproducible results due to the use of light barriers and the Timer 2-1
• Timer 2-1 can be used for versatile applications, for example for teacher experiments due to ist great display
• Very modern student experiments which fully cover the curriculum subject "Motion"
