To set a new timeunit, click on the down arrow next to Hz andselect a new unit.Change measurementunits:In the Setup window, click on the down arrownext to the appropriate temperature probenumber and select a new unit.Scale to fit the data: Click the Scale-to-Fit button on the Graph tool-bar to automatically scale the data.View data statistics: On the Graph toolbar, click the Statistics button.Equipment required: PS-2143 Quad Temp. Sensor, PASPORT interface, DataStudio(1.9.0 or later), up to four Fast Response Temperature Probes, adhesive patches/tape1. Plug the PS-2143 Quad Temp. Sensor into a PASPORT interface.2. Connect the PASPORT interface to a USB-compatible computer.3. Launch DataStudio.4. Plug a Fast Response Temperature Probe into each of the ports on the QuadTemp. Sensor box.5. (Optional): Calibrate each of the probes using the calibration procedure on card2B.6. Place a probe in each of the following locations: a) chest b) abdomen c) upperarm and d) leg. (Note: To hold the probes in place, put an adhesive patch orpiece of medical tape over each probe.)7. In DataStudio, open a Graph display. From the Data list, drag the icons for thetemperature measurements to the graph.8. Click the Start button to begin collecting data.9. Ask the student to exercise vigorously for about 10 minutes, and watch the datawhile exercising. Stop and rest for about 10 minutes.10. To end data collection, click the Stop button.11. Compare the body temperature at each of the four locations during exercise. Atwhich location was the body temperature a) the lowest and b) the highest? Atwhich point was the change in temperature the greatest? Explain your answers.Do more muscular parts of the body generate more or less heat than thoseparts with more fat tissue?12. (Optional): With disposable thermometers, have each student take his/herbody temperature. During exercise, which is higher, the core body temperatureor the skin temperature? Explain your answers.13. (Optional): Using skin calipers, take a skinfold measurement for the chest,abdomen, arm, and leg. Is there a relationship between the temperatureincrease and the skinfold measurement?CARD 1BSample Data: Temperature Differences Among VariousParts of the Body During Exercise012-08656C
