The Angle position sensor contains a potentiometer with a pulley to attach a string to. By a displacement of a string, the potentiometer is rotated and the output voltage is adapted.

**Technical specifications**:

- Measuring range: 270° ± 10° or 140 mm ± 5 mm
- Resolution: 0.07° / 0.03 mm
- Maximum sample frequency: 100 kHz (CoachLab II+, WiLab) / 1 MHz (VinciLab 2)
- Warranty: 3 years
- Includes sensor cable

Technical specifications of the sensor are described in the product manual, see downloads.

**The Angle position sensor can be used in physics to**:

- Studying the swing of a pendulum
- Measurements of small displacement
- Measurement of positions of the light sensor in interference and diffraction patterns

The Angle position sensor can be directly connected to analog BT inputs of the CMA interfaces.
