!PS-2133The PS-2133 Respiration Rate Sensor measures breath rate in one-minute cycles.The Respiration Rate Sensor includes a Relative Pressure Sensor and inflatable belt,which wraps around the chest. As the person breathes, respiration rate and pressurechanges can be displayed in a graph on a computer.Resp iration Quic k StartA d d it io na l E quip me n t N ee d e d• PASPORT™ USB interface (USB Link (PS-2100) with USB-compatible computer or aPS-2000 Xplorer)• DataStudio® software, version 1.8 or laterE qu ipm en t S e t upSensor SpecificationsSensor Range: 0 to 10 kPaResolution: 0.001 kPaAccuracy: ± 0.5 kPaRepeatability: 0.01 kPaMaximum Sample Rate: 20 samples per secondOperating Temperature: 0–40° CRelative Humidity Range: 5–95%, non-condensing *800-772-8700 • 916-786-3800 • techsupp@pasco.com • www.pasco.com 012-08370A34Respiration Rate Sensor*Note: Condensation on the sensor may reduce the sensor’smeasurement accuracy.The specifications apply to the PS-2114 Relative PressureSensor, which is part of the Respiration Rate Sensor.1CARD1A21. Connect the USB Link to a USB port on your computer or to a USB hub. (If using theXplorer as an interface in the classroom, connect the Xplorer cable to the USB port onyour computer.)2. Wrap the Respiration belt below your rib cage and connect the Respiration Belt tubing tothe Relative Pressure Sensor. (See card 2A for proper instructions and safety information.)3. Connect the Relative Pressure Sensor to the USB Link.4. The software launches when it detects a PASPORTTM sensor. Select a point of entry.1. Wrap the respiration belt around your rib cage. (Follow the instructions for“Wearing the Respiration Belt” on card 2A.)2. Use the quick-release connector on the end of the belt’s tubing to connect thebelt to the Relative Pressure Sensor.3. Connect the Pressure Sensor to a PASPORT interface.4. When the PASPORTAL window opens, select the Respiration workbook orconfiguration file. [Note: If you don’t have have version 1.8 of DataStudio,launch DataStudio, create an experiment, and follow the instructions in thetable to the left for creating the respiration rate equation.]5. Ensure the valve to the squeeze bulb is closed. Inflate the belt until the beltfits snugly against your chest.(Do not overinflate! Please read the safetywarning and instructions on card 2A.)6. On page 4 of the workbook, click the Start ( ) button to record therespiration rate. Collect respiration rate data with (a) the student sitting,standing, and lying down and (b) before and after exercise.7. (Optional): Remove the belt. Collect pressure data with the student breathingthrough a plastic tube connected to the Pressure Sensor. (See card 2B).8. Analysis: Compare the change in respiration rate with different bodypositions and before and after exercise. Examine pressure changes forinspiration and expiration.** Use the Special button and menu to select the period function and replace the(10,10, x) values with (30,30,5). Under Variables, click on Data Measurement;then click on Relative Pressure and OK. Click the Accept button to accept theequation.* In the respiration activity, the respiration equation is already created for you.R e s p i ra ti o n Ac t i v it y• Respiration rate vs. heart rate• Respiration rate and body temperature (cold vs. hot environments)• Respiration rate and pressure changes with different types ofexercise (aerobic, weight lifting, etc.)• Respiration rate and pressure changes (breathing vs. breath holdingvs. forced expiration)• Respiration rate at sea level vs. altitudeCARD 1BDataStudio/DS Lite Tasks:Create an equation for meas-uring respiration rate inDataStudio:*Click on the Calculator ( ) button to openthe Calculator dialog.
