The IR Reflective Lightgate- Advanced

These lightgates can be used away from the PC, remotely, and will report the velocity of either a credit-card sized card, or a Logbook Timing Ladder, or can be used connected to a PC to show the values above and as a simple digital lightgate.  

Our advance reflective infra-red lightgates are not affected by incidental light from sunlight or internal lights, and so they preclude the need to blackout a room before doing timing experiments.  They have a robust design and operate with all sciencescope loggers and all other sciencescope-compatible interfaces.

  1. Compatible with DL Plus, CL 50 & 200 and all Logbooks.

  2. timing resolution up to 50 µseconds.
