Legacy Interface-Sensor Compatibility Chart

Our older interfaces can still work well for basic data collection, provided you have the right software and sensors. This sensor compatibility chart list shows which new sensors work with legacy interfaces, and what adapter is needed.

For compatibility information with current interface offerings, please see our probes section.
