Product Guides & Articles
Photogates, Fences, and Timers
Photogates, fences, and timers are a staple of every physics lab. We’ve developed two standalone photogates, as well as two software-dependent options with varying capabilities and applications. This page compares our products’ functions, applications, and connectivity to help you select the perfect fit for your lab.
Using ScienceWorkshop Sensors
PASCO's original line of sensors (in the black cases) can be used directly with the 550 or 850 Universal Interfaces, the legacy ScienceWorkshop Interfaces, or with our other PASPORT interfaces by using the correct adapter.
