1. Description 

Displacement sensor inside a 3B NET

log

TM

 sensor box 

and featuring a built-in precision potentiometer plus 
a rotating pulley onto which a string can be wound in 
order to measure displacement. Suitable for recording 
periodic and oscillatory movements which can be 
traced by the turning of the string on the pulley with-
out putting too much strain on the precision potenti-
ometer when it reaches the limits of rotation. 

The displacement sensor is detected automatically 
by the 3B NET

log

TM

 unit. 

 
 

2. Operation 

 

Set up the experiment with the displacement 
sensor included. 

 

If possible, select a zero point in such a way that 
the limits of rotation of the pulley are never 
reached. 

 

Turn on the 3B NET

log

TM

 unit and connect the 

displacement sensor to one of the analog inputs, 
A or B, on the 3B NET

log

TM 

 unit. 

 

Wait for the unit to automatically detect the 
sensor (it will then display "S / U", meaning "dis-
placement per volt").
