Experimental Setup for the 500 Interface using DataStudio:

    1. Connect the 500 Interface to the serial port of the computer and plug the Current Sensor into the analog channel A and the Voltage Sensor in analog channel B.

    2. Construct a simple series circuit with the empty battery holder, long bulb in socket, and Current Sensor (see photo below).

    3. Be certain to wire the Current Sensor in series with the light bulb and wire the Voltage Sensor in parallel with the light bulb (see photo below).
