Features:
Data Logging Capability
Interface is a portable datalogger for taking measurements
in the laboratory or field. To record data, all you need is the
interface and a sensor. Students can set up an experiment
using the 500 interface, disconnect the computer to collect
data at their lab table or out of the classroom, and then
reconnect the interface to the computer to upload data for
analysis inside DataStudio.
The interface uses a 50 KB storage
50 KB Storage Buffer -
buffer to store multiple data runs and experiment setup
information.
Cross-platform Compatible
either a Macintosh or Windows-compatible computer. The
interface stores the ScienceWorkshop sensor and data display
information so it knows what experiment setup to open.
Portability and Plug-in -
field or plug the interface into your computer. The interface
operates on 4 "AA" cell batteries or a 9 V AC adapter.
