Heat Pulser

You can add heat to an experiment (i.e. heat and thermodynamics experiments) using a Heat Pulser. The duration of the heat pulse is set in Logger Pro. Click to generate the pulse.

Collecting Data Using the Heat Pulser

1. Connect the Heat Pulser to a digital port of your interface (LabQuest, LabQuest Mini, or LabPro).
2. Choose Set Up Sensors from the Experiment menu to set up the sensor manually because Heat Pulsers are not auto-ID.
3. Drag a Heat Sensor from the sensor list to the DIG port box to which the Heat Pulser is connected.
4. Click the Heat Pulser in the DIG port box to change the duration of the pulse. Select OK.
5. Start data collection. Click to generate the pulse. The data table will keep track of when the heat pulser is activated, as well as its duration.
