We have tested the Pasco Time of Flight device (ME-6810) with LabPro. It is essentially a square piece of wood with a microphone attached to it so that the digital signal toggles state rapidly (high/low) when an object strikes the wood. It has a 1/4" stereo phone plug on the end. It will not work with the DG-BTD adapter, but it does work with the Homemade Photogate Adapter, order code HMP-BTD, $15. In normal use, a standard photogate is attached to digital input one (to start timing, as a projectile is launched) and the ME-6810 is attached to digital input two. Note that you would use the file Probes and Sensors/Photogates/Pulse Timing - Two Gates.

If you are using a ULI, instead of LabPro for this, no adpater is needed to use the Time of Flight accessory. You would use the file Probes and Sensors/Photogates/Pulse Timer.
