The TI-82 version of DataMate supports only auto-ID sensors: temperature, light,
voltage, and the CBR™ device or the new Vernier Software and Technology
(Vernier) motion detector. It supports all of the functions except SAVE/LOAD,
SELECT REGION, ADD MODEL, and ANALYSIS.
See page 5 for instructions on using the DataMate software.

Sensors

Three sensors are provided with the CBL 2™ (stainless steel temperature, TI light,
and TI voltage), and many other available sensors can be used with CBL 2, including
the CBR and the following Vernier sensors:
CBL™ Motion Detector
CBL Microphone
Digital Control Unit
Dual-Range Force Sensor
Student Force Sensor
Flow Rate Sensor
Magnetic Field Sensor
Turbidity
Low-g Accelerometer
25-g Accelerometer
3-Axis Accelerometer
Extra Long Temperature Sensor
Current/Voltage Sensor System
Vernier Photogate
Direct-Connect Temp Sensor
Stainless Steel Temp Sensor
Relative Humidity Sensor
pH Sensor
Note: For updated lists of available sensors, see the web site for Vernier Software and
Technology at www.vernier.com.
Sensors are attached to CBL 2 though input or output connections called channels.
CBL 2 has three analog channels (CH1, CH2, CH3) and one other channel (DIG/
SONIC) that can be used for ultrasonic motion detector or digital inputs and
outputs.
When using DataMate, the auto-ID feature on the CBL 2 allows the unit to
automatically identify specific sensors when you connect them to the unit. When
you connect an auto-ID sensor to a channel, CBL 2 detects the sensor, loads
calibration factors and a default experiment, and shows the channel number and
sensor type in the calculator display. Auto-ID sensors include the stainless steel
temperature, TI voltage, and TI light sensors included with the CBL 2, as well as the
CBR and the Vernier motion detector. (Additional Vernier auto-ID sensors are
planned.)
