Question

Does your software support Intel-based Macintosh computers?

Answer

Yes.

Logger Pro version 3.5.0 (released May 2007) is a Universal Binary build, meaning that it runs natively on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs. All Logger Pro features operate the same way regardless of processor type, with the exception of the original ProScope (M2).

The currently available ProScope HR works as is with Logger Pro 3.4.2 and newer. However, the drivers provided with the original Proscope (M2) are not universal binary code, so the only way to use the older ProScope on an Intel Mac is to use Logger Pro version 3.4.6 under Rosetta. To make Logger Pro run under Rosetta, select the Logger Pro application, choose File / Get Info and check the box for "run Using Rosetta". You must reboot in order for this change to take effect. This is an unfortunate situation. Bodelin (the makers of the ProScope) have tried to make updated drivers for Intel Macs, but have found that it is not possible. Bodelin does have a buy-back program for people in this situation. Contact Vernier for details.

Logger Lite 1.3.2 (released February 2006) runs with full functionality on Intel-based Macs. It is not Universal Binary, but that has little impact on its performance.

Graphical Analysis 3.4 (released October 2005) also runs with full functionality on Intel-based Macs. It is not Universal Binary, but that has little impact on its performance.
