Import Data from a LabPro with a Serial or USB Cable

If there is a LabPro connected to the computer (using a USB or serial (Windows only) cable) that was used with a TI graphing calculator to collecte data, you can transfer the data from the most recent run directly from the interface to Logger Pro. The data will be added to a data column, graphed on the screen, and ready for further analysis. Saved (or archived) experiments in LabPro can also be imported. Note: If you use the remote data-collection mode rather than using a TI graphing calculator to collect data, retrieve the data.

Importing with a Serial or USB Cable

  1. Connect the serial or USB cable to a free serial or USB port of the computer and to the LabPro.
  2. Make certain that the LabPro has power.
  3. With Logger Pro running, choose Import From > LabPro... from the File menu. Note: Choosing Import will terminate the ongoing LabPro data collection.
  4. Logger Pro will identify your interface and display the data within.
  5. If you want to import saved experiments, check Scan for Saved Experiments to get a listing of archived
    experiments in LabPro.
  6. Logger Pro will identify your LabPro and display the data within.
  7. Highlight the lists and/or saved experiments you want to import.
  8. Click OK. The lists or saved experiments will added to a data table.

Notes

Port/Cable: It is important to correctly identify the port and type of cable being used so that Logger Pro can successfully communicate with the LabPro. If the cable is connected to a different serial or USB port, you can choose the port from the pull-down menu.

Status: The interface will be detected automatically. Click Refresh Catalog if a new interface has been connected.

Choose Lists to Import: The LabPro catalog will be listed. Highlight the list(s) you wish to import into the current page and Click OK.

You can name and save your experiments in LabPro's memory using the DataMate program. Refer to the Beyond DataMate Guidebook for instructions on how do this. If you want to import saved experiments, select Scan for Saved Experiments to get a listing of archived experiments in LabPro.
