Universal Lab Interface

Software for use with the ULI
Sensors for use with the ULI.
Curricular Material for use with the ULI.
 
Use the Universal Lab Interface (ULI) to study motion, force, sound, pH, temperature, EKG, radiation, light, and more. Before we developed our new LabPro interface, the ULI was our premiere lab interface for all areas of science. Connect the ULI to the serial port of your computer, plug in the appropriate sensors, and launch our data collection software. Click on the Collect button, and data is collected as a real-time graph. You can collect data and display graphs as the experiment takes place. You can then examine or print the graph, scroll through the data table, export data to other programs or use the data analysis features of the software: statistics (mean, maximum, minimum, standard deviation, etc.) curve fits (linear, power, log, exponential, polynomial) calculated columns (for spreadsheet-like calculations). Experiment files on the disk make using the ULI easy. Simply open the appropriate experiment file and you are ready to collect data! Details of the experiment, such as calibration, data rate, averaging, length of experiment, and time units are stored in the experiment file. If you want to do an impulse experiment, open the Impulse experiment file. If you want to do a sound experiment with an FFT, open the appropriate file. Over 150 experiment files are available with our books Physics with Computers, Chemistry with Computers, Physical Science with Computers, Biology with Computers, Middle School Science with Computers, and Water Quality with Computers.
