The following are some suggestions for adjusting your experimental procedure and setup to more precisely measure a magnetic field:
Zero the magnetic field sensor in the position and orientation in which you want to use it and then keep it in tha...
The Vernier Sensor Cart has a built-in force sensor, used primarily to measure impulses and collisions the cart experiences. Sometimes students will want to use the Sensor Cart as a more traditional piece of lab equipment, use the force sensor to me...
Sometimes the list of items you are trying to import is so long that the import function times out. As a workaround, open an empty Vernier shopping cart on multiple browser tabs. One tab per 50 items should be sufficient. Paste or type up to 50 item...
When using two wireless force sensors, such as those found in our Go Direct® Force and Acceleration Sensor (GDX-FOR) and Go Direct® Sensor Cart (GDX-CART-G), you may notice that the impulses created by the force sensors do not match up or sy...
If you are trying to connect a WDSS or LabQuest Stream (LQ-STREAM) to a Windows 10 or 11 computer, you can use a Go Direct® Bluetooth® Adapter (GDX-RADIO).
Note this will not work on older versions of Windows, nor original LabQuests, and ...
Vpython (https://www.vpython.org/) makes it easy to create navigable 3D displays and animations, even for those with limited programming experience. You (and your students) can use our sensors to interact with displays and animations to create ...
Web VPython (formerly known as Glowscript) can be accessed on a Chrome web browser at https://webvpython.org/ (or https://www.glowscript.org/). You will need to create an account in order to program using this app, however this is easily accomplishe...
When using our GDX sensors with our programs, Graphical Analysis and Instrumental Analysis, or with a LabQuest, you do not need to know the channels of our GDX sensors, you just choose them from a list. If you are writing your own programs in Python...
A new USB security requirement as of macOS 13 Ventura will display a dialog on first connection of a Vernier USB device. For example, on first connection of a LabQuest Stream, you may see
