The Vernier Photogate works both as a traditional photogate for objects passing between the gate arms, and as a laser gate for objects passing outside of the gate.

Vernier Photogate


The gate has an input port so multiple gates can be connected in a daisy-chain configuration with up to four gates going to a single interface channel. The Vernier Photogate also supports auto-ID with compatible software. Photogates can be used to study free fall, air track collisions, pendulum periods, the speed of a rolling object, and many other things. The Vernier Photogate includes an accessory rod for mounting to a common ring stand. The laser gate mode requires the addition of a common pen laser, which is directed into the laser port. The laser may be some distance from the gate, so that you can measure the speed of larger objects such as a rocket, model car, or even a real automobile.

  Low-g Accelerometer - This is the best choice for most experiments. Use it for studying the one-dimensional motion of a car (real and toy), elevator, pendulum bob, or amusement park ride.
  25-g Accelerometer - This is great for studying one-dimensional collisions or any motion with larger accelerations
  3-Axis Accelerometer - This is really three low-g accelerometers mounted at right angles and all placed in a small box. Use it for studying the complex motion of an amusement park ride, a bungee jumper, or simply a toss in the air.
  Barometer - Our Barometer can be used for either weather studies or for lab experiments involving pressures close to normal atmospheric pressure. The pressure range is 24 to 32 inches of Hg (0.8 to 1.05 atm) absolute pressure.
  Charge Sensor  -  The Charge Sensor is used as an electronic electroscope. Unlike a traditional electroscope, the Charge Sensor can make quantitative measurements.
  CO2 Gas Sensor - The CO2 Gas Sensor measures gaseous carbon dioxide levels in the range of 0 to 5000 ppm. This probe is great for measuring changes in CO2 levels during plant photosynthesis and respiration.
  Colorimeter - This 4-wavelength Colorimeter is great for Beer's law experiments, determining the concentration of unknown solutions, or studying changes in concentration vs. time.
  Conductivity Probe - This probe is great for environmental testing for salinity, total dissolved solids (TDS), or conductivity in water samples.
  Current Probe - Use the Current Probe to measure currents in low-voltage AC and DC circuits. With a range of ±0.6 A, this system is ideal for use in most "battery and bulb" circuits. Use it with the Differential Voltage Probe to explore Ohm’s law, phase relationships in reactive components, and much more.
  Differential Voltage Probe - Use the Differential Voltage Probe to measure low-voltage AC and DC circuits. With a range of ±6.0 V, this system is ideal for use in most "battery and bulb" circuits.
  Digital Control Unit - The Digital Control Unit (DCU) gives you an easy way to use LabPro, CBL 2™, or original CBL™ digital ports for exciting, do-it-yourself projects. It allows you to provide useful current (up to 600 mA) for controlling electrical devices.
