operate normally. There is no way to switch between the two 750
interfaces in DataStudio.
Is the 750 USB Interface compatible with PASCO’s new
PASPORT line of sensors?
No. The 750 USB is compatible with PASCO’s line of “CI” sensors,
which includes over 40 different sensor types.
Does the 750 USB Interface work with
ScienceWorkshop
software?
No.
ScienceWorkshop
software, which is available at no charge from
PASCO, and works with all other PASCO interfaces (including the 750
SCSI), does not recognize the USB connections that come with newer
computers and operating systems. DataStudio Lite, which is also
available free from PASCO, supports all PASCO interfaces including
the 750 USB.
I have a computer with USB connections. Does it matter whether
I purchase the 750 SCSI or 750 USB?
Not really. The 750 USB will usually result in lower system cost,
since a separate SCSI interface card is usually required for most
systems using the 750 SCSI. Also, installation of the SCSI card within
the computer and system configuration is more involved than the
simple “Plug and Play” operation of USB. For newer computers and
operating systems that support USB, the 750 USB interface is
preferred.
I have an older computer that doesn’t have USB. Is there any
way I can still use the 750 USB Interface?
If you have a PC that is running Windows 98, 2000, ME, or XP (in
other words, any system NOT running Windows 3.1, 95, or NT4), you
can use the 750 USB as long as the required USB port can be installed
in the computer. USB ports can be purchased from many electronic
stores at low cost.
You can also upgrade some olders Macs with USB ports if it is a
PowerPC Mac with a PCI/PCMCIA bus running Mac OS v. 8.6 or
better.
