Define My Own Sensor (Capstone)

How do I define a function to use my own sensor with Capstone? If you plan to collect data using a non-PASCO sensor by monitoring the output voltage, it is possible to create a transfer function within Capstone so that the values read, can be displayed as the quantity that is being measured. If you are trying to use a Vernier sensor for which there is not a prebuilt profile, you can find the slope and intercepts for these sensors in the manuals for the Vernier sensors. These can then be input using the process shown in this video to get data from these sensors into PASCO Capstone.
