  2. Connect the plugs of the Photogates to the ScienceWorkshop Interface: Connect the plug of the Photogate nearest the Launcher to Digital Channel 1 of the ScienceWorkshop Interface. Connect the plug of the other Photogate to Digital Channel 2 of the ScienceWorkshop Interface.

  3. Connect the plug of the Time-of-Flight Accessory to Digital Channel 3 of the ScienceWorkshop Interface.

  4. Connect the interface to the corresponding port of the computer.

  5. Level the Launcher. Loosen the thumbscrew behind the Launcher. Adjust the Launcher until the string of the plumb bob aligns with the 0 degree marker on the side of the Launcher. Tighten the thumbscrew behind the Launcher.
