k Using Setup Wizard to Configure a PhotoGate Setup
Connection of a Vernier PhotoGate requires configuration of setup parameters that are
slightly different from parameters for other types of sensors.

1. Perform the first two steps of the procedure under “To configure an EA-200 setup using
Setup Wizard” on page ε-2.
2. On the “Select Sensor” screen, select [VERNIER] - [Photogate] - [Gate].
• This displays a screen where you specify whether PhotoGate is connected to the CH1
or SONIC channel.
3. Press 1 to specify CH1 or 2 to specify SONIC.
• This causes a “Gate Status” screen to appear.
• “Open” means the photo path is not blocked, while “Close” means the photo path is
blocked.
• The gate status defines what PhotoGate status should cause timing to start, and what
status should cause timing to stop.
Open-Open ..............Timing starts when the gate opens, and continues until it closes
and then opens again.
Open-Close..............Timing starts when the gate opens, and continues until it closes.
Close-Open..............Timing starts when the gate closes, and continues until it opens.
Close-Close .............Timing starts when the gate closes, and continues until it opens
and then closes again.
