Accelerometer Quick Start
Additional Equipment Needed
•
PASPORT
™
interface [USB Link (PS-2100) with USB-compatible computer or
Xplorer (PS-2000)]
•
EZscreen or DataStudio
®
software (version 1.7.2 or later)
Equipment Setup
1. Connect the USB Link to a USB port on your computer or to a USB hub.
2. Connect the PASPORT cable to the Visual Accelerometer and to the USB Link (or
Xplorer).
3. The software launches when it detects a PASPORT sensor. Select a choice from the
PASPORTAL window.
4. Move the Accelerometer slide switches to select a scale type and/or range.
5. To turn on the Accelerometer, momentarily push in and release the black button.

PS-2128
The PS-2128 Visual Accelerometer provides a real-time, visual display of acceleration
(m/s
2
or g) along a single axis. When connected to a computer with DataStudio software,
the Visual Accelerometer can be also used to record and graph acceleration changes.
