Set-up

To Connect to a PASCO Interface

Connect the Motion Sensor's yellow plug to DIGITAL INPUT 1 
(or Digital Channel 1) of your 

ScienceWorkshop-

compatible 

interface. Connect the black plug to DIGITAL INPUT 2 (or Digi-
tal Channel 2).

NOTE: If you are using a PASPORT-only interface (such as the 
SPARK Science Learning System), use a PS-2159 Digital 
Adapter to connect the Motion Sensor to the interface. Put the 
yellow plug into Input Port 1, and the black plug into Input Port 
2. Plug the Digital Adapter into a port on the PASPORT-only 
interface.

PASCO Capstone Setup

1.

Turn on the interface and launch the PASCO data acquisition 
software, such as PASCO Capstone..

2.

In PASCO Capstone, click the “

Hardware Setup

” icon in 

the Tools palette to open the “Hardware Setup” panel.

3.

In the “Hardware Setup” panel, click “

Add Sensor/Instru-

ment

” to open the “Add Sensor or Instrument” window.

4.

In the “Add Sensor or Instrument window, click the “

Sensor 

or Instrument Type

” menu and select “

ScienceWorkshop 

Digital Sensors

” from the list. 

5.

Select “

Motion Sensor II

” in the list and then click “

OK

”. 

6.

Confirm that the “Hardware Setup” panel shows the icon of 
the Motion Sensor and the icon of the interface.

7.

Double-click the 

Graph

 icon in the Displays palette (or 

other display icon) to create a data display.

8.

In a Graph display, click the “

Select Measurement

” menu 

button on the vertical axis and select position, velocity, or 
acceleration. Click “

OK

”.

SPARK Science Learning System (SLS) Setup

1.

Turn on the interface. Connect the Motion Sensor’s plugs to 
the input ports on a PS-2159 Digital Adapter, and plug the 
adapter into the interface.

2.

The SPARKvue program recognizes that the Digital Adapter 
is connected to the interface, and shows a screen with a list 
of digital sensors. Press “Motion Sensor” and then press 
“OK”.
