Visor Handheld Support

Use Your Visor™ Handheld with LabPro
We are pleased to announce that you can now use your Visor handheld from Handspring™ to collect data with our LabPro interface. Our Visor handheld package includes the following:

• Data Pro 1.1 software on CD
• Visor-to-LabPro pouch
• Visor-to-LabPro cable

This package supports the following Visor handhelds: Visor Platinum, Visor Prism, and Visor Pro.

We recommend Palm OS 3.3 or newer for use with Data Pro 1.1 and Visors.

Here are just a few features of the Data Pro software:

• Supports more than 30 Vernier sensors. You can use up to 4 different analog sensors or 2 digital sensors at the same time.
• Performs curve fits (linear, power, quadratic, exponential).
• Provides statistical analysis or integration of data.
• Students can model data with a wide variety of data.
• Data are easily transferred to Vernier Graphical Analysis 3.1, using a HotSync® cradle.

Note that this package does not support other Visor models, such as the Deluxe, Edge, or Treo™. We do not anticipate supporting these models in the near future.

Software Upgrade for Palm Handhelds
In addition to support for Visor handhelds, Data Pro 1.1 offers other new features. Here are just a few of the features:

• Stores up to 19 data files.
• PDA power stays on during a long data collection.
• Data retrieval from LabPro is faster.
• Exponential and power curve-fits are better.
• Graph autoscaling is improved.
• Support for the UVA and UVB sensor is included.

If you have already purchased Data Pro 1.0, you can upgrade to version 1.1 two different ways:

• Go to our web site, www.vernier.com, click on Downloads, and proceed to Data Pro 1.1 upgrades. To perform the upgrade, you need to be on a computer on which Data Pro 1.1 has been previously installed.
• Call or e-mail us and request a Data Pro 1.1 CD.
