Appendix C: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 550 Universal Interface?
The PASCO 550 Universal Interface is designed to meet the needs of those users who want to use any
of the PASCO sensors in any combination at the same time. The interface has six input ports and one
signal generator output port.
The PASCO 550 Universal Interface can measure data at a rate as fast as one million samples per
second (1 Msps), and can output a signal at a frequency as high as one-hundred thousand hertz (100
kHz).
How do I know if my computer has a USB port?
If your computer has a USB port, you will see the USB symbol (
) embossed, engraved, or
printed next to the port somewhere on your computer. If you purchased a computer that was
manufactured in 2001 or later, chances are you have a USB-compatible computer.
It may be possible to add USB ports to your computer using a USB interface card.
My computer has two USB ports. Can I use more than one PASCO USB interface at the same
time?
Yes. PASCO Capstone software allows you to use more than one PASCO USB interface at the same
time. However, only one 750 USB
ScienceWorkshop
Interface or 500
ScienceWorkshop
Interface with
a USB/Serial adapter can be used with Capstone.
Is the 550 Universal Interface compatible with PASCO’s complete line of sensors?
Yes. The 550 Universal Interface is compatible with PASPORT sensors (“PS-”) and ScienceWorkshop
(“CI-”) sensors.
Does the 550 Universal Interface work with
other
software?
No. The 550 Universal Interface requires PASCO Data Collection software (such as PASCO Capstone
or SPARKvue).
Does PASCO Capstone software work with
other
interfaces?
Yes. PASCO Capstone software works with any PASPORT interface such as the USB Link and the
SPARKLink Air. The software also works with a 750 USB
ScienceWorkshop
Interface or a 500
ScienceWorkshp
Interface with a USB/Serial adapter.
PASCO Capstone software will work with the PASCO PI-8127 Function Generator and with USB
compatible video cameras.
