More About Adapters

"What adapter do I use to connect my old Vernier sensors to LabPro?"
"What adapter do I use to connect my new Vernier sensors to a ULI or a Serial Box Interface?"

These are two of our most common tech support questions. Here are the answers:

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) connectors.

In general, most questions about adapters for analog sensors 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).

Adapting a Vernier digital sensor is a little more complicated. If you have a Motion Detector, Photogate, Radiation Monitor, or Rotary Motion Sensor, for more information visit our Adapters Section
