-Suspend the diffuse light source above the rotating table. ​  +  - Mount the rotating table on a sufficiently large and sturdy table. 
-Attach a model exoplanet to the rotating table. +  - Cover the rotating table with a black cloth. 
-Connect the power source (EICO 1064) to the motor in the rotating table. ​  +  - Suspend the diffuse light source above the rotating table. 
-Start at 0V and slowly turn up the voltage until a desired rotation rate is obtained. ​  +  ​- ​Attach a model exoplanet to the rotating table. 
-Mount the light sensor a suitable distance away so that when the table rotates a periodic decrease in the intensity will be observed. ​  +  ​- ​Connect the power source (EICO 1064) to the motor in the rotating table. 
-Connect the light sensor to the Vernier LabPro interface. ​  +  ​- ​Start at 0V and slowly turn up the voltage until a desired rotation rate is obtained.  
-Connect the Vernier LabPro interface to the USB port of a computer with LoggerPro installed. ​  +  ​-  ​Mount the light sensor a suitable distance away so that when the table rotates a periodic decrease in the intensity will be observed. ​  
-Power the interface, wait for the beeps to finish and then start the LoggerPro software. ​+  ​- ​Connect the light sensor to the Vernier LabPro interface. ​
