Put your $$$$ where your math is!

Can you hit the dollar?  Or are you EXTRA good and can hit the quarter, or are you AWESOME and can hit a dime?

Ramps, rulers, tape, books, photogates, labpros, computers, plumb-bobs, meter sticks, etc. are available - GOOD LUCK (or is it just good preparation?)

Logger Pro misbehaving?  OPEN LOGGER PRO, then go to FILE:  OPEN / PROBES&SENSORS / PHOTOGATES / PULSE_TIMER_2_GATES
