App and Program Transfer Guidebook 4
Applications and Programs
Special sensors, such as photogates and radiation monitors, or special uses, such as motion
matching or managing the Flash memory of your interface, require supplemental programs. They
are available for download from www.vernier.com and include Readme files providing details.
These programs will work with CBL 2 and LabPro.
EasyData
1 The EasyData app is a graphing calculator application that comes loaded on the
TI-84 Plus and TI-83 Plus. It lets you collect, view, and analyze real-world data
on TI-84 Plus and TI-83 Plus graphing calculators using Vernier USB devices
(EasyTemp and EasyLink for the TI-84 Plus) and other data collection devices,
such as Texas Instruments CBR 2, CBL 2 System, or Vernier Go!Motion, and
LabPro. Older versions of these calculators may not come loaded with EasyData.
DataGate Use DataGate to collect data with photogates or Smart Pulleys™.
DatMatch The DatMatch program is a special purpose program used with the Motion
Detector. The program presents distance vs. time and velocity vs. time graphs,
and challenges the students to match the graph by moving in front of the Motion
Detector.
DataRad This program is used with our Student Radiation Monitor and our Radiation
Monitor to monitor nuclear radiation. A variety of data collection modes are
supported.
DaRotary This program is used when you want to collect data with the Vernier, Pasco or
Team Labs rotary motion sensors. It supports a variety of collection modes
including simultaneous analog and rotary sensor data collection. There are also
a number of analysis features.
FunctGen This program allows your graphing calculator to command a LabPro Interface
to behave like an analog function generator. Among other things, it can be used
to study harmonic oscillation in strings and LRC circuit response. This program
will work only with LabPro and requires LabPro operating system 6.22 or
higher.
DataDrop This program counts drops and measures pH in titration experiments using the
Drop Counter.
DataDir This special purpose program is used to manage programs in the Flash memory
of your CBL 2 or LabPro. You can save programs to the interface and load
programs from the interface. This program will work with all the graphing
calculators except the TI-82 and TI-85.
VST Apps It is a neatly wrapped application for the TI-83 Plus, TI-83 Plus Silver Edition,
TI-84 Plus, and TI-84 Plus Silver Edition that includes the following specialty
programs: DatMatch, DataGate, DataRad, DaRotary, DataDrop and FunctGen.
The next step is loading software and downloading the applications or programs onto your computer.
