Setting up a sensor

Introduction

For a general introduction to sensors, see An introduction to sensors.

To add a sensor to a protocol, click the Add item button in the ribbon bar and select New input item > New light sensor from the menu which appears.

The New input item menu option is only included if the protocol mode includes input/output.
The New sensor option will be disabled until the protocol includes at least one apparatus element.
