Vernier Tech Info Library TIL #304

Question

Is it possible to log data from an original CBL directly to the computer without using a TI calculator?

Answer

We have no software that will allow you to collect data on a computer with the CBL directly connected. For computer-based data collection we use our Logger Pro software with our LabPro interface or one of our older computer interfaces (ULI or Serial Box).

A company called CMA in the Netherlands has developed a way to use the TI-GRAPH LINK cable and a CBL to collect data directly with a computer. Their software is called CoachLab. You can find CMA on the internet at:
