LabPro Interface

The LabPro interface offers multiple high-speed analog inputs, as well as digital inputs.

Collecting Data with LabPro

Follow these procedures to quickly collect data with the LabPro and Logger Lite software:

  1. Power your LabPro with AC power or fresh batteries.
  2. Connect LabPro to a USB port on your computer.
  3. A "Found New Hardware" message may appear. Allow a few moments for this process to complete before proceeding.
  4. Start Logger Lite.

    For Windows machines, double-click the Logger Lite icon and the computer screen.

    For Macintosh, users will find the program in the Logger Lite folder in Applications.

  5. If a LabPro and auto-ID sensors are found, live readings will be displayed on the screen in the digital meter.
  6. If a LabPro is found but there are non-auto-ID sensors connected, you should set up the sensor(s) or open an appropriate experiment file. This step is required only if using non-auto-ID sensors.
  7. To start collecting data, simply click the Collect button . The data will be displayed in the data table and the graph.

Once you have collected your data, you can analyze it and perform several other tasks. Take a look at the How To section for a list of the various options available in Logger Lite.

Note: Logger Lite can be used with LabPro to collect data from most analog sensors, but does not support any digital sensors other than the Motion Detector. To use the LabPro to its fullest capabilities, upgrade to Logger Pro software, available from Vernier Software & Technology.
