The Remote Controlled Positioning System PS 400 enables fast, programmable and exactly reproducible positioning of components (e.g. sources or sensors) in experiments. Distance-dependent but also velocity-dependent physical quantities can thus be investigated quickly and without disturbing influences of the person performing the experiment.

Examples:
Distance-dependent, physical quantities:
● Electric field – Coulomb’s law
● Magnetic field - Biot-Savart-law
● Light intensity
● Radioactive radiation intensity

Velocity-dependent, physical quantities:
● Frictional force in liquid media
● Doppler effect

Combinations of the step size and velocity are freely programmable and offer a high degree of flexibility with particularly simple operation.

In addition, frequently used step sizes with predefined velocities are assigned via buttons on the control unit and enable rapid and controlled approach to a position:


Button Step size Velocity
„1“ s = 1 mm v = 1 mm/s
„5“ s = 5 mm v = 5 mm/s
„10“ s = 10 mm v = 10 mm/s
„50“ s = 20 mm v = 25 mm/s
„100” s (standard) = 100 mm; programmable v (standard) = 50 mm/s; programmable

The position of the carriage can be read out digitally via the CMA interface. This means, the monitoring of a physical value, which is determined via a sensor, can be simultaneously monitored with the sensor position.


Required for computer-aided data processing:
Variant 1: (PC/Tablet)
1 x 1021514 Sensor Cable
1 x 1022284 WiLab
1 x Software License Coach7
or
Variant 2: (Data-Logger VinciLab)
1 x 1021514 Sensor Cable
1 x 1021477 VinciLab
1 x Software License Coach7

Alternatively, the position of the carriage can be read out as output voltage VOut. Thus, software of other suppliers can acquire the position information by the usage of a suitable voltage sensor.
