Other Photogates
To use Fourier, Vernier, or Pasco photogates with the CPO Science DataCollector,
use the adapter to be released late 2004 (CPO Science Part #392-1513). No adapter
is necessary to use CPO Science Photogates with the DataCollector.
Setting up a Computer for use with the DataCollector
CPO Science provides software that enables you to download experimental data
from the Palm Zire handheld to your personal computer. This software, called the
DataCollector Conduit, is included with each kit on the DataCollector Resource
CD-ROM.
Currently, the conduit is supported on PC's running the Microsoft Windows oper-
ating system (Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows XP) and
computers running Mac OS 9.1 and above.
The DataCollector Conduit relies on the Palm HotSync Manager, and can only be
installed after the HotSync Manager software is set up. For help with HotSync
Manager installation, refer to the documentation that came with your Zire hand-
held or Palm's technical support website: http://www.palmone.com/us/support/
IMPORTANT: The HotSync Manager Software must be
installed before you install the DataCollector Conduit.
Windows 98/NT/2000/XP Installation
Once you have installed the HotSync Manager software, insert the CPO Science
DataCollector Resource CD-ROM and follow the instructions that appear on your
