Based on a patented light time of flight (ToF) technique, PhysDisp is a modern contactless displacement sensor. PhysDisp can consistently measure linear positions, lengths, and displacements, automatically switching ranges and resolutions depending on the proximity from and area of the marker. Connect it with the PhysLogger App or use it as a handheld standalone device.
PhysToF uses an IR-based time-of-flight (ToF) technique with negligible dependence on surface reflectivity. It belongs to the PhysInstrument class as a digital device, connects with PhysLogger, requires no configuration, and includes a hardware tare button.
This versatile device allows users to imitate Galileo’s inclined plane experiments and conduct gravity measurements, explore engine cycles by mounting it to track piston motion, and investigate collisions along with the conservation of energy and momentum. It can also be used as a handheld length measuring tool across a variety of experiments and features contact sensing capabilities.
