Rotameter (Panlab)
- Cylinder or Bowl transparent containers
- Rotation sensor with adjustable TTL output signal
- Configuring experiment duration and time intervals of counting
- Counting the number of partial and complete left and right turns
- Easily adjustable harness (new design)
- New optional Data Transfer software SEDACOM 2.0 (for Multicounter LE3806)
Basically, the subject wears an adjustable harness with a soft ring connected to the rotation sensor by a flexible tie. The subject is then placed into a transparent container (cylinder or bowl) with a lateral support for a vertical stand.
A bi-directional rotation sensor provides a double (right and left turns) output with adjustable regulation of pulses/turns. Two configurations are available for rotation counting: individual counter or a multicounter.
When using a multicounter, the new SEDACOM 2.0 version provides an easy and convenient way to visualize and export the data on a computer for further analysis.
