With either interface, students can easily measure physical quantities such as temperature, pH, pressure, light, dissolved oxygen, relative humidity, etc. With the Universal Lab Interface and a Motion Detector, students can collect distance, velocity and acceleration data. In either case, multiple sensors can be used simultaneously. Students obtain immediate feedback, because the equipment produces real-time graphs during data collection. Since data can be collected quickly, students spend more time observing phenomena and interpreting and analyzing results.
Students find the equipment easy to use and quickly learn to perform experiments.
Logger Pro is extremely versatile and can be individualized for a specific experiment. Data is automatically stored in a data table as it is being graphed. Extensive analysis tools include derivatives, integration, statistics, curve fitting, and interpolation. Students can also perform calculations with data columns to create new columns such as kinetic or potential energy. Multiple data-collection runs can be performed and stored in each experiment.
