Dana by AlphaSmart^®

Students can now collect data with Vernier LabPro and Dana by AlphaSmart. This laptop Palm OS device is popular for its wide screen, long battery life, light weight, and full-sized, integrated keyboard. The following components will have your students ready to collect data:

• Data Pro software (version 1.2 or newer)
  The CD includes a site license to load it on any Palm handheld in a school, as well as students’ personal Palm OS handhelds.
