5.Tips on using the Timing Wizard
•
Attach a flag to the moving body
When measuring the motion of a moving cart it is convenient to attach a vertical
‘
flag
’
to the cart (see picture below). You can mount a slotted wooden block on the cart
and insert the flag onto the slot, or use masking tape to attach the flag to one side of
the cart.
Use a double flag to measure acceleration at one gate. The width of the two flags
must be the same.
