Introduction
The PASCO Wireless Smart Gate is a versatile measuring device that can connect to a computer or mobile device
wirelessly through Bluetooth (BLE) or physically with a Micro USB cable. It measures the time for an object’s
motion, such as a PASCO Cart, as the object blocks one or more beams of light. The Smart Gate has three
detector ports and one Auxiliary port. There are slots for Ports 1 and 2 for Photogate Tape (ME-6663) or Photogate
Tape, High Resolution (ME-6666).
Port 1 and Port 2 operate in the same way as a pair of PASCO Photogates that are side-by-side.The space
between the emitters for Port 1 and Port 2 is 1.5 cm. PASCO Capstone or SPARKvue software records and
displays the times for a variety of timing combinations such as the amount of time each port is blocked, or the time
from when one port is blocked until the second port is blocked. The software also displays the values of
calculations such as the speed or velocity between Port 1 and Port 2.
Port 3, the Auxiliary Port, is the port for a PASCO Photogate or similar device
such as a Time-of-Flight Accessory. The Auxiliary port accepts a 0.25 inch
(6.35 mm) “tip-ring-sleeve” phono plug.
Port 4, the Laser Detector Port,
is designed to work with a laser beam to
allow measurement of an object too large to pass through the Wireless Smart Gate.
The software begins recording
time when a laser beam shining into the port is blocked by a passing object.
