What do I need to collect data with Palm® handhelds?

Load the Vernier Data Pro program onto your handheld or Dana, connect it to your LabPro, attach a Vernier sensor, and begin collecting data! Unlike other data-collection software for handhelds, Data Pro independently performs all of the functions that you would expect of a computer with your handheld.
