Logger Pro® 3 Keeps Getting Better with Logger Pro 3.3

What’s better about Logger Pro 3.3? The biggest change is support for multiple interfaces. You can use our new Go!Temp and Go! Link devices, as well as the Ohaus® Scout® Pro balances. If you want, you can even use several LabPro interfaces at the same time. Other new features include:
- Redesigned Toolbar
- Export to GIS software
- Analog dial meters and thermometer
- Curve fits can be displayed without parameters
- Keyboard triggering
- Recently opened files list
Logger Pro 3.3 will be available in May. The update from any version of Logger Pro 3 to version 3.3 is free.

Everyone Can Replay Movies Synchronized with Your Data
Did you know that calculator data can be imported to Logger Pro 3 from LabPro, CBL 2, and even the original CBL? Thanks to this feature, calculator users can take advantage of the new video synchronization features in Logger Pro 3. It’s as easy as this:
- Collect data from the sensors as you normally would, while simultaneously videotaping your experiment.
- Import your sensor data to Logger Pro 3.
- Transfer the video to your computer.
- Insert the video to your Logger Pro 3 data file.
- Synchronize the movie and the data.
You now have a movie and sensor data that can be replayed together (at any speed). This is a great way to show students the relationship between what happened during the experiment and the graph.
Our Sensors are Smart — Very Smart
Did you know you can store a custom calibration directly on many Vernier sensors? For most purposes, it is not necessary to calibrate Vernier sensors, but if you do choose to calibrate, here’s how it works: There is a chip in most analog sensors that can store calibration information. If you use Logger Pro 3, you can write information to that chip. For example, you could calibrate a Force Sensor, and then store the calibration to the sensor. Next time you use that sensor, using Logger Pro 3 (DataMate on the calculators, or DataPro on Palm), you’ll automatically be using that calibration. You can always go back to the factory calibration, if you prefer. Check the online help index for “calibration storage” and you’ll find all you need to know.
