Description
The Pasco PS-3701 Smart Gate System is the most advanced photogate available. It only needs one PASPORT connection. The Photogate daisy-chains to the Smart Gate. The Smart Gate is not compatible with the GLX or the SPARK Science Learning System.
The Smart Gate has dual Photogate beams spaced at 1.5 cm to accurately measure speed. Built-in laser switch (when used with any laser) allows you to time objects too large to fit through the standard Photogate. Other features include a slot for Photogate Tape, and an auxiliary port for an additional Photogate or for the Time of Flight Accessory.
This Pasco PS-3701 Smart Gate System requires PASCO software for data collection and analysis. We recommend using either SPARKvue or Capstone, whichever is right for your classroom. See the comparison below:
This product also requires a PASCO interface to connect to your computer or device. We recommend using the following options below with their features and capabilities:
The Smart Gate Pulley System's Super Pulley attaches directly to the Smart Gate, providing a simple, low-friction system to measure position, velocity, and acceleration. Additionally, with the pulley removed, the smart gate can be used to perform standard photogate experiments.

How it Works:
Photogates are a timing device that measures times of the changes in the state of an infrared beam that is blocked by a flag of known length, as well as the times the beam is unblocked. Using the flag length, and the blocked time, students can calculate speed. The smaller the flag length, the more 'instantaneous' the measurement becomes. Using a "Picket Fence" (a card with multiple flags), students can calculate acceleration. Photogates can also measure the rotation of our Smart Pulley which features wide enough spokes that act as 'flags' to block the photogate's infrared beam. With a pair of photogate beams, velocity can be calculated using the distance between the beams and the time between when the two beams are blocked. The Smart Gate allows you to do this with a single photogate because it includes two photogate beams spaced exactly 1.5 cm apart.
