Manage sensor properties
Many PASCO sensors allow certain aspects of data collection to be controlled through the Properties menu after connecting to Capstone. For this example we will use a Wireless Voltage Sensor (PS-3211) as the sensor to be configured.
- Connect the sensor to the Capstone software.
- Click Properties to the right of the sensor's name to open the Properties menu for that sensor.
The aspects which can be adjusted using the Properties menu vary depending on the sensor. For example, for the Wireless Voltage Sensor, the Properties menu allows you to zero the sensor, remove an existing zero offset, or adjust the maximum range of the sensor's measurements from ±15 V to ±5 V for greater precision.
