Introduction
The Breath Rate Sensor measures breathing rate before, during,
and after exercise. This measurement is sent digitally to a com-
puter or datalogger where it is displayed and recorded for analy-
sis. The sensor detects each breath by monitoring the air pressure
in a mask worn by the subject.
Safety
• Each mask and each clip is to be used by one person only.
Dispose of clips and masks after use.
• The sensor is for educational use only.
Set-up
Connecting the Sensor to an Interface

2. If you are using a computer, connect the PASPORT interface
to it and start DataStudio.
Connecting a Clip to the Sensor
Plug the two ports of the clip into the tubes of the sensor. Observe
the BLACK and CLEAR labels on the clip and ensure that each
port is connected to the correct tube.
