I flipped it rather weakly, as I feared it would be too fast (time/revolution too short) for the MicroSet to collect W/O error. It’s the only data I took. I intend to take more tonite.
All data I’ve taken of pendula have been very noisy. I don’t think it’s artifacts. Remember the resolution is ~ a microsec. My analyzer (Kaleidagraph) has smoothing functions.
A much faster spin, I think, will result ina quad. term. And the MicroSet will average beat up to 256 beats.
bc later
New data; of the massiest three legged spinner; I spun so fast MicroSet doesn’t respond until slower.
Two modes: time one where leading edge to leading times recorded (so will be three times the “actual” rate, I think.), and time 1 skip. This one is designed to measure the period instead of the beat of a pendulum, I pray, the result is 3/2 times the “actual”.
Note the last column is the PG interrupted time. This Bryan included so one may find the amplitude of a free pendulum using the work energy theorem.

bc easily confused.
