and CI-6719
ELVIS Adapters

Introduction
The PASCO ELVIS Adapters are designed to
allow the use of PASCO sensors with National
Instruments

Educational Laboratory Virtual
Instrument Suite (NI ELVIS). LabVIEW

software can be used with NI ELVIS to collect and
analyze data with the sensors. The adapters are
also compatible with most electronics prototyping
boards.
Two different adapters are available:
Analog Adapter (CI-6718) - enables the use of a
single ScienceWorkshop analog sensor with
ELVIS.
Digital Adapter (CI-6719) - enables the use of one
or two ScienceWorkshop digital sensors with
ELVIS.
Connection of Analog ScienceWorkshop
Sensors
Analog ScienceWorkshop sensors have 8-pin DIN
connections. Not all sensors require all
connections, but connecting all pins as specified
will not damage any of the ScienceWorkshop
sensors.
Please see the specific connection charts on the
following pages.
Using Analog Sensors
1. Plug the analog adapter into a prototyping
board.
2. Connect wires from the inputs/outputs of the
adapter to the desired inputs and outputs as
specified in the connection chart.
Please note that the two sets of pins nearest the
DIN connector are not electrically connected.
They simply provide additional mechanical
support for the adapter.
