Appendix A: DataStudio Setup Instructions

The instructions below outline the recommended experiment setup for PASPORT and 
ScienceWorkshop sensors.  Follow the steps specific for the type of sensor and interface (i.e. 
PASPORT or ScienceWorkshop).  

Procedure

Steps

PART I: Plug the 
sensors into the  
interface:

PASPORT: a) Plug the Force Sensor(s) and/or Acceleration Sensors 
into a PASPORT interface. b) Connect the PASPORT interface (i.e. USB 
Link, PowerLink, etc.) to a USB port on your USB-compatible computer. 
c) When the PASPORTAL window opens, select “Launch DataStudio.”
OR
ScienceWorkshop: a) Plug the Force Sensor(s) and/or Acceleration 
Sensors into an analog channel(s) on a 

ScienceWorkshop

 interface.     

b) Launch DataStudio. 

PART II: Set up your 
experiment

PASPORT:  a) Click the Setup button to open the Experiment Setup 
window.  b) Use this window to setup or change sensor settings, such as 
the sample rate or measurement units.
ScienceWorkshop:  a) In the Welcome to DataStudio window, double 
click “Create Experiment.” b) In the Sensors list, click and drag the Force 
Sensor icon(s) to analog channels on the picture of the interface (i.e. to 
the same letters in which you have the sensors connected.)         c) 
(Optional): If using an Acceleration Sensor, click and drag the 
Acceleration Sensor icon to the picture on the interface. 

PART III: Create the 
force or acceleration 
equations

a) Create an equation for the normal force: F= force*cos(angle) where 
“force” is the force in Newtons and “angle” is the track angle in degrees. 
b) Create an equation for the angle: angle=arctan (y,x) where “y” is 
acceleration parallel to the inclined plane and “x” is acceleration 
perpendicular to the inclined plane. (Note: Keep the DEG button 
depressed.)  
(For instructions on creating equations, see Appendix B or the 
DataStudio online help.)]

PART IV: Collect Data

a) In the Displays list, double click on a Graph display. b) From the Data 
list, drag the force icon over the y-axis in the graph.  c) From the Data 
list, drag the angle icon over the x-axis in the graph and release the 
mouse. d) Click the Start button on the main toolbar.
