Calculator-Based Ranger™ 2 (CBR 2™)

The least expensive and easiest way to collect motion data in your math, physical science, or physics classroom is with the CBR 2. The CBR 2 collects distance, velocity, and acceleration data while connected directly to a TI graphing calculator, so you don't need a data collection interface like LabPro® or CBL 2™. The connection to the calculator is through the calculator link port or, if you have a TI-84 Plus or TI-84 Plus Silver Edition, the CBR 2 can connect to the calculator's USB port.

CBR 2 Key Benefits:

  • Use CBR 2 to teach important concepts in physics, physical science, and math.
  • Engage your students with hand-on activities.
  • Study the motion of a ball tossed in the air, or a cart on a ramp.
  • Attach CBR 2 directly to the Vernier Dynamics Track.

Other Important Features Include:

  • The measurement range is 0.15 m to 6 m.
  • CBR 2 has a sensitivity switch which lets you customize settings to your experiment.
  • The CBR 2 is built with a pivoting head, making it easy to set up experiments.
  • It works with TI-73 Explorer, TI-82, TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-84 Plus, TI-86, TI-89, TI-92, TI-92 Plus, and TI Voyage 200 calculators.
  • The CBR 2 can also be connected to a CBL, CBL 2, or LabPro (using MDC-BTD cable, sold separately).
  • When the CBR 2 is connected to the USB port of a TI-84 Plus that has the EasyData application installed, the application automatically starts, and you are ready to collect data.
