    750 Interface (USB) Model No. CI-7599 Introduction The PASCO 750 USB Interface, is a USB (Universal Serial Bus) data acquisition interface designed for use with any of PASCO’s ® ScienceWorkshop Sensors. The 750 USB operates exactly the same as the 750 SCSI interface. The only functional difference between the...
  • Page 6: Operation And Setup Procedures

    General Operation Requirements and Setup A. Operation Requirements and Precautions a) The interface must be used with PASCO’s DataStudio software and ScienceWorkshop sensors. The interface will not work with PASPORT sensors or other sensors, software, or interface (i.e. Xplorer, etc.) Note: For more infor- Also, you can use only one 750 USB interface per computer.
  • Page 7: Plugging A Sensor Into The Interface

    750 Interface (USB) Model No. CI-7599 C. Plugging a Sensor into the Interface Analog sensors have DIN connectors and plug into channels A, B, and C on the interface. Digital sensors have stereo plugs and insert into channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the interface.
  • Page 8: Using The Interface As A Signal Generator

    Model No. CI-7599 750 Interface (USB) Using the Interface as a Signal Generator (no amplifier required): The 750 USB interface contains a built-in function generator for creating up to eight types of waveforms (sine, square, triangle, sawtooth, ramp up, ramp down, positive ramp up, positive ramp down, as well as DC voltages.) when the interface is used with DataStudio.

    USB connection (or those whose computers do not support SCSI connections). The PASCO 750 SCSI interface uses a SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) port to communicate with the PC or MacIntosh (Mac) computer to which it is connected. The SCSI-equipped interface is now known as the “750 SCSI interface.”...
  • Page 16 DataStudio. Is the 750 USB Interface compatible with PASCO’s new PASPORT line of sensors? No. The 750 USB is compatible with PASCO’s line of “CI” sensors, which includes over 40 different sensor types. ScienceWorkshop Does the 750 USB Interface work with software? No.
  • Page 17 750 Interface (USB) Model No. CI-7599 Does the 750 USB have a serial connection like the 750 SCSI? No. The 750 USB Interface can connect to the computer only with the USB port. If I have a 750 USB and a PASPORT Xplorer connected at the same time, which would be recognized first and have priority? The interface you choose first in DataStudio is the one that has the priority.
