Getting Started with LabPro and Logger Pro
The Vernier LabPro is an extremely powerful and versatile
data-collection interface that can collect data from multiple analog
and digital sensors. Use the procedure below to quickly begin
collecting live data with LabPro.
- Connect a LabPro interface to a computer running Logger Pro
using the supplied cable. You can use the USB port on a PC or Macintosh
or any of the COM 1, 2, 3 or 4 serial ports on a PC.
- Power the LabPro with either the AC power adapter or fresh
batteries.
- Connect a sensor to the interface. If you are using an auto-ID sensor (such as a
Stainless Steel Temperature Probe or a Motion Detector) no further
action is required prior to data collection. Logger Pro will have
identified your sensor and loaded a default data collection mode. If
your sensor does not auto-ID, choose an experiment file from
the appropriate sensor folder or open the Sensor
Setup dialog to manually configure Logger Pro
for you sensor.
- Click . Logger Pro will
begin plotting data in the graph.
Note: Choose Open from
the File menu to access tutorials that cover
additional aspects of data collection and analysis.
