The Lascells Millisecond Triple Mode Timer provides all the facilities required for dynamics timing, and comes housed in a robust aluminium case, supplied with a mains plug-top low-voltage power supply. Three modes of operation are available, activated by START and STOP switch contacts (4mm sockets) or by using Lascells Light Gates which plug in directly.
• Mode 1 - uses one light gate or a switch across the START sockets (either normally open or normally closed contacts). Timing starts when the switch is operated, and stops when it is returned to normal e.g. to measure the time a card takes to pass through a light gate.
• Mode 2 - uses activation of the START sockets to initiate timing and activation of the STOP sockets to stop the timing. Two light gates could be used in place of switches e.g. to measure how long a trolley takes to descend a ramp.
• Mode 3 - uses both the start and stop sockets or two light gates. The time taken to pass through gate 1 is recorded, then the time taken to pass through gate 2 is measured, and finally the time taken to move from gate 1 to gate 2 is measured. All three times are displayed. This could be used to measure the speed at the top and bottom of a ramp, along with the time taken between the two i.e. all the readings required for measuring acceleration.
