Setup Notes:
The Track should be set up with the end with the smallest reading on the scale closest to the wall.
The feet brackets should be mounted so their thumbscrews are on the same side of the Track as the scale. One feet bracket should be mounted on the end of the track closest to the wall. The position of the other feet does not matter. Note that this placement differs from the standard one.
The Rod Clamp should be mounted on the end of the Track opposite the wall.
The Super Pulley with Clamp should be mounted on the end of the Track opposite the wall. The pulley should be attached to the higher / top hole of the pulley clamp so that the string pulling the cart can be parallel to the track.
The eyebolts can be attached to the stings using the loops on the ends before being screwed into the force sensors.
