Logger Pro 3.8

Logger Pro 3.8 is an effective software that provides an inexpensive, user-friendly way for students to collect and analyze data with computers.

This program works in combination with Vernier Software's Universal Lab Interface or Serial Box Interface. With either interface, students can easily measure physical quantities such as temperature, pH, pressure, light, dissolved oxygen, relative humidity, etc. With the Universal Lab Interface and a Motion Detector, students can collect distance, velocity and acceleration data. In either case, multiple sensors can be used simultaneously.

The hardware and software simplify the data-collection process and free the student from the time-consuming work associated with collecting large amounts of data. Students obtain immediate feedback, because the equipment produces real-time graphs during data collection. Since data can be collected quickly, students spend more time observing phenomena and interpreting and analyzing results. Students find the equipment easy to use and quickly learn to perform experiments.

Major Features:

1.  Auto Graph Match Generator
   • Do you like using graph-matching exercises with your students? While it's always been possible to create your own additional exercises, now Logger Pro offers a toolbar button that automatically generates a new exercise.
2. Auto-configured Data Collection
   • For many purposes, you don't need to configure Logger Pro at all. Connect a sensor, such as a Go! Motion or Go! Temp, or a LabPro with a sensor, and launch Logger Pro. Logger Pro detects your setup, and creates a graph, data table, and digital readout. Data collection parameters are set automatically, so you’re ready to collect data.
3. Video Capture
   • Logger Pro now captures video from many devices. Connect a DV camcorder, ProScope HR, and make your own movies for later analysis. You can make a time-lapse movie, synchronized with sensor data, and play both the movie and the sensor data back at high speed. Or just make a video recording of your experiment to go along with your data. Videos are automatically inserted after capture, so there’s no import process to worry about. You can even insert a still photo of your experiment.
4. Image Analysis
   • Use the power of video analysis to analyze a photo. Record the shape of an object, and set the scale of the photo. Don’t miss the cool catenary curve example included in Logger Pro 3.
5. Intel-based Macintosh Universal Binary
   • Logger Pro runs natively on Intel-based Macintosh computers for a fast and smooth experience.
6. Bluetooth Wireless Support
   • Collect force, acceleration, and altitude data wirelessly with the Wireless Dynamics Sensor System.
7. Gel Electrophoresis Support
   • Document and analyze digital gel images quickly and easily with the Blue Digital Bioimaging System.
8. GPS Import/Export
   • Import longitude and latitude information directly into Logger Pro with a GPS unit such as the Vernier GPS Sensor. Then, export your GPS data to a Google™ map for a bird's eye view with satellite imagery!
9. Video Analysis
   • Quantitative position information can be obtained from videos. Students can set the scale, define an origin, and track the positions of up to three objects. Afterwards, replay the video synchronized with data. Learn more about video capture and video analysis by downloading our Video and Logger Pro - Getting Started Guide.
10. Double-Y graphs
    • Sometimes you need to plot two things that have different units or magnitudes on the same graph. You can do this in Logger Pro using the double-y graph feature. For example, plot both pH and the derivative of pH with respect to volume against added volume.
11. Modeling and Function Plotting
    • Do your students wonder what the computer is doing when it does automatic curve fits? Logger Pro lets you superimpose the graph of an equation on top of your data—or just the function plot, if you like. You can adjust the parameters in the equation as needed, and see how the graph changes.
12. Styled Text
    • You can style text in many places in Logger Pro using bold, italic, underlines, Greek characters, and super and subscripted numbers. Formulas are more readable when they appear as H2O and Δt.
13. International Versions
    • Available in Italian, French, Spanish, German, Chinese, and Korean, Logger Pro allows students all over the world to experience engaging science experiments through discovery.
14. Upgrades and Enhancements
    • Logger Pro 3 continues to simplify the process of data collection with interface enhancements like automatic backups of your data, Microsoft-signed driver for simplified installation on Windows XP, and much more!
15. Additional Information
    • One CD includes site license for all computers in a school or college department, including students’ personal computers.
    • Logger Pro 3 cannot be used with the ULI or Serial Box Interface. Call us for a solution for legacy interfaces.
