Data Pro

Expanding on the versatility of the LabPro with computers and calculators, Data Pro is a data-collection program for use with Palm® handhelds. Load Data Pro software onto your handheld, connect the handheld to your LabPro (with our Handheld-to-LabPro cable and cradle), attach a Vernier sensor, and begin collecting data!

Once data have been collected on the handheld, it is easy to transfer the Data Pro data to a PC or Macintosh computer. Students simply connect with a HotSync^® Cradle or cable, start up Vernier's Logger Pro 3 or Graphical Analysis 3 software (version 3.1 or newer), and press the HotSync button. Their data will transfer directly to the data table and a graph in Logger Pro or Graphical Analysis. For those not familiar with Logger Pro, this award-winning software includes a school site license and a student site license!

Data Pro has all of the features you would expect in a Vernier data collection program:

Supports more than 45 Vernier sensors. You can use up to 4 different analog sensors and 2 digital sensors at the same time.
Supports Vernier auto-ID sensors. Data Pro is able to identify the sensor, load calibrations, and assign labels and units.
Determine the concentration of an unknown by interpolation of an Absorbance vs. Concentration graph.
With a tap of the stylus, you can quickly navigate between the data table, graphs of data, and analysis tools, or zoom in on regions of data on graphs.
Data Pro has an analysis mode that allows students to
- examine data point-by-point on plotted graph
- do a statistical analysis of data (mean, minimum, maximum, standard deviation)
- perform curve fits (linear, power, quadratic, exponential)
- integrate data
- model data with a wide variety of equations.
Students can create calculated columns using a variety of mathematical equations, from simple linear equations to first and second derivatives.
Data Pro allows manual entry of data. Even when the handheld is not connected to the LabPro interface, students can easily enter numbers into a data table, plot graphs, and use all of Data Pro's extensive analysis and modeling tools.
Print data tables and screens to infrared-enabled printers (and USB printers with Dana).
Export data for analysis into
Infinity Softworks powerOne™ Graph v4.

Handheld Models and Support
