NeuLog photogate logger sensor measures velocity and/or
acceleration, and can be used to study impulse, collisions,
conservation of energy, force, and momentum for further research.
The logger sensor has six modes of operation for customizing
experiments: velocity with a single gate, acceleration with a
single gate, acceleration with two gates, velocity and momentum
with two gates, delta between two gates, and velocities with a
timing card (timing cards not included). The logger sensor has an
internally-housed infrared transmitter and receptor to detect
objects passing through for collecting data, and a threaded rod
for connecting the sensor to retort stands or other labware. The
logger sensor has 16.0 bit digital resolution for reading a range
of values, and displays measured values in large numerals or in a
table for ease of reading. The sensor includes a photogate handle
with three threaded holes for setting up experiments. The
photogate logger sensor can be used for physics experiments, and
is suitable for grade 3 and higher, or ages 10 to 21.
The logger sensor consists of a data logger, flash memory, and a
sensor for fully self-contained data gathering, and is
plug-and-play for immediate readings as soon as it is connected.
The logger sensor sends data in digital format to a PC, Mac,
, smart phone, or other viewer device, and provides
multiple connection options, including USB and wireless. The
logger sensor’s browser-based software adjusts ranges and gains,
and provides applications for presenting data, including online
and offline modes, tables, graphs, data analysis, double-axis set
up, statistic operations, and mathematical operations. The logger
sensor is encased in durable plastic, and has an LED indicator to
track experiment status, with push buttons for calibration and
start/stop experiments in offline mode for ease of operation. To
take an assortment of readings during a single experiment, the
logger sensor can be attached to another sensor; one to 10 logger
sensors can be used per experiment (sensors sold individually).
For efficiency, the logger sensor can store up to five
experiments in flash memory, and saved experiments can be
uploaded to a PC or Mac at any time. Additional accessories, such
as USB, Wi-Fi, or battery modules, are required for operation
depending on the device (PC, , viewer, and so on) used to
receive readings from the sensor. (Accessories and devices sold
separately.) The logger sensor includes a guide with instructions
for use and care, and measures 6.5 x 7.0 x 1.5cm (L x W x H). (L
is length, the horizontal distance from left to right; W is
width, the horizontal distance from front to back; H is height,
the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point.)
Logger sensors are electronic devices used to record a variety of
energy and environmental measurements, such as temperature,
humidity, voltage, and soil moisture, at set intervals over a
period of time in scientific classroom and field settings.

Science education products incorporate applied math and science
principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers
in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science
education kits and products alongside science, technology,
engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM
concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities.
Science education projects include a broad range of activities,
such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics,
robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.
NeuLog brand products, manufactured by EISCO Scientific and
Science Educational Systems (SES), include logger sensors,
software, and accessories for energy and environmental data
acquisition and measurement. EISCO Scientific was founded in
1968, and is headquartered in Rochester, NY; SES was founded in
1983, and is headquartered in Israel. Both companies meet
International Organization of Standardization (ISO) standard
9001.
