The Motion Detector uses ultrasound to measure distance. Ultrasonic pulses are emitted by the Motion Detector, reflected from a target and then detected by the device. The time it takes for the reflected pulses to return is used to calculate position, velocity and acceleration. This allows you to study the motion of objects such as a person walking, a ball in free fall or a cart on a ramp.
Please note: This item requires an interface such as a LabQuest or LabQuest Mini to operate. If you need a motion detector that can plug straight into a USB port, then see our Go!Motion motion detector.
