PASCO ME-6569 RMS_IDS KIT - Manual (Page 5)

012–06408A RMS/IDS Kit
1
Introduction
The PASCO CI-6569 RMS/IDS Kit allows the PASCO CI-6538
Rotary Motion Sensor (RMS) to function as a Smart Pulley for
measuring the absolute location of a PASCO Dynamics Carts
(ME-9430 or ME-9454) running on PASCO Introductory Dynamics
System Tracks (ME-9429A or ME-9452).
The IDS track pulley bracket and the cart—string bracket included in
the RMS/IDS Kit, together with the required IDS Mount Accessory
(CI-6692), allow the connection of the Dynamics Cart to the large
pulley of the RMS with a sturdy thread. The thread is anchored on the
Dynamics Cart and passed over the large pulley on the RMS, allowing
bidirectional linear motion of the Dynamics Cart to be logged into
Science Workshop
TM through a PASCO computer interface (500 or
700). Science Workshop can then display the motion data in terms of
absolute location, velocity, and acceleration.
Two sets of Dynamics Carts, Rotary Motion Sensors, and connecting
brackets can be installed on a single Dynamics Track to allow
simultaneous measurement of linear motion of two carts (700
interface only).
