Introduction
The PASPORT Galvanometer is a high-resolution,
high-impedance voltage sensor for use with PASPORT inter-
faces. It measures differential voltage in the range of
−2 V to
+2 V. It can also be used in combination with a resistor as a
current sensor.
Sensor Set-up
Connect the Galvanometer Sensor to a PASPORT interface. If
you are using a computer, start DataStudio.
For measuring voltage, connect the included cable or binding
post adapter to the sensor's BNC connector, or connect a
device to the Galvanometer with a BNC cable.
Before making a measurement, short the + and − inputs
together and press the Tare button on the sensor. This adjusts
the sensor's measurement to 0 V.
