Vernier Tech Info Library TIL #804

Question

Are Vernier products and Fourier products compatible?

Answer

None of the Vernier interfaces, e.g. LabPro, will connect directly to the Fourier MultiLog. In order to collect data with the MultiLog and Vernier sensors, you will need an adapter available from Fourier. We have attempted to summarize the compatibility between our sensors and Fourier�s System.

The information below is gathered from the manufacturer�s web site and/or information from their technical support. Vernier Software & Technology has not tested the compatibility between our products and Fourier products. A number of factors contribute to the successful compatibility between various interfaces and sensors: physical compatibility, software, calibrations, voltages, etc. Refer to the manufacturer for information on the use of our sensors with their hardware and software.

-Interface: MultiLog, MultiLog Pro, and Nova 5000
-Sensor: DIN and BTA
-Fourier web site: http://www.fourier-sys.com
-Fourier email: info@fourier-sys.com

Compatible Sensors:
Fourier supplies a small 10-cm adapter that connects the Vernier analog DIN and BTA sensors and their mini-Din. This allows users to connect most Vernier analog sensors to the MultiLog.

Incompatible Sensors
All BTD sensors and digital probes (Motion Detector, Photogate, Radiation Monitor) will not work the Fourier system.
