Import from LabPro/CBL 2 with a TI-Graph Link Cable

You can transfer data lists directly from the LabPro and CBL 2 interfaces via a TI-GRAPH LINK cable. Those data lists will be from the most recent data collection run. The data will be added to a data column, graphed on the screen, and ready for further analysis. Saved (or archived) experiments in LabPro can also be imported.

Note: This function is useful for interfaces which have been used for remote data collection.
 

The procedure for importing is: 

1. Connect the TI-GRAPH LINK cable to a free serial or USB port of the computer and to the LabPro or CBL 2.

2.  Make certain that the LabPro or CBL 2 has power.

3.  With Logger Pro running, choose Import From -> TI Device... from the File menu or click the  button from the toolbar. This dialog box should appear.

You can name and save your experiments in LabPro's memory using the DataMate program. Refer to the Beyond DataMate Guidebook for instructions on how do this. If you want to import saved experiments, check the box next to Scan for Saved Experiments to get a listing of archived experiments in LabPro.

4. Logger Pro will identify your interface and display the data within.

5. Highlight the lists and/or saved experiments you want to import.

6. Click Done. The lists or saved experiments will be assigned to a Data Table.

Click the Refresh Catalog button if you have connected a new interface or calculator to the computer.


Port/Cable: It is important to correctly identify the port and type of cable being used so that Logger Pro can successfully communicate with the interface. If the TI-GRAPH LINK cable is connected to a different serial or USB port, you can choose the port from the pull-down menu.

Status: The interface will be detected automatically. Click the Refresh Catalog button if a new interface has been connected.

Choose Data to Import: The LabPro or CBL 2 catalog will be listed. Highlight the list(s) you wish to import into the current page and Click Done.
