- Adapters
- If you are buying new Vernier sensors for use with LabPro or CBL
2™, you do not need to purchase adapters. The new sensors use
a BT (British Telecom) connector.
- In general, most questions about adapters are answered by one of
these two scenarios:
Old analog sensors. Older Vernier "-DIN" (analog)
sensors can be adapted to the new LabPro or CBL 2 interfaces using
a DIN-to-BTA adapter (DIN-BTA, $5).
New analog sensors. Newer Vernier "-BTA" (analog)
sensors can be adapted to the older ULI or Serial Box Interface
with a BTA-to-DIN adapter (BTA-DIN, $5). This applies to every "-BTA" sensor with the exception of the Stainless Steel Temperature Probe, which only works on Original CBL™, CBL 2™, and LabPro.
- Adapting a Vernier digital sensor is a little more complicated. Refer to the table below for
the appropriate adapter.
