Calculator Program Update

If you are using DataMate with a LabPro or CBL 2, you might be interested in version 6.13 of the program. The most important changes in the version are the following:

  • Prevention of data loss when an auto-ID sensor is unplugged. In previous versions of DataMate, the program would automatically check for a new sensor when an auto-ID sensor was unplugged. In the process, any data in the calculator would be deleted. To prevent this, the program now performs an automatic sensor check only when a new auto-ID sensor is plugged in or when the CLEAR button is pressed.
  • Improved power management for long-term data collection
  • Support for our Sound Level Meter.

This version is now available as a part of our latest firmware update. The update can be downloaded from our web site at www.vernier.com/calc/glupdate.html. Download and install the firmware update onto your LabPro or CBL 2 and then transfer DataMate to your calculator.

Our PHYSICS program for the original CBL has been updated to support the new Sound Level Meter. The updates can be downloaded from our web site at http://www.vernier.com/legacy/cbl/progs.html.
