PASPORT Probeware - e-measure works!
How easy is it to use PASPORT? Just plug a sensor into the USB Link or Xplorer datalogger and you are ready to take data. It really is that simple. If you are using a computer, an EZscreen designed specifically for that sensor automatically launches. Just click the start button to take data. If you are using the Xplorer datalogger, the Xplorer automatically configures to the sensor. Just press the start button to take data. Connecting the Xplorer to your computer automatically transfers the data to the computer.
With the Xplorer datalogger you can truly collect data any time, any place. When your students have collected all their data, they just plug the Xplorer into their computer and the data will be transferred for further display and analysis.
PASPORT uses state-of-the-art technology to provide ease-of-use with faster, more accurate data transfers.
1. USB technology gives PASPORT its 'plug and play' ease of operation. The USB port on your computer connects printers and other devices. USB allows PASPORT sensors to tell your computer its sensor type, calibration, optimum sampling rate, etc. Your computer can tell PASPORT sensors to change the range, adjust the zero, etc. When you add a new sensor, there is no need to update software since all the information is in the sensor.
2. The 100% digital output sensors measure temperature, pH, motion and lots more.
The data readings are converted to digital signals by the sensor.
The result:
• No need for an elaborate, hard to configure interface
• Higher sensitivity • More stable readings • Lower noise
• More reliable measurements • Over Forty Basic Sensors
And Many More to Come!
Probeware does not replace real learning or the scientific principles behind the experiments.
It is only a measurement and an analysis tool. Long term studies have clearly shown that computer interfacing leads to a science curriculum with a greater emphasis on content with replies suggesting that more than half of all science teachers rating hands-on activities as better than any other teaching method.
Research results clearly show that students who use probeware and computers to collect and analyse data scored significantly higher on standardised science testing than those who don't use this technology.

PASCO offers an impressive range of sensors, (see list below) with new sensors being added regularly. PASPORT sensors feature:
Automatic Sensor Identification
Each sensor automatically identifies itself, sets the default sampling rate and configures a default display when plugged into a USB Link, Xplorer or PowerLink.
More Sensors per Computer
With USB technology, up to eight sensors can be connected to the same computer. There are no restrictions on which sensors can be used together, and no data is lost when multiple sensors are used.

The USB Link
(PS-2100)
The USB Link connects any PASPort sensor to the USB port. Use the USB link when your experiments can be performed while the sensor is directly connected to the computer.
PowerLink
(PS-2001)
Connect 3 concurrent sensors PLUS additional Links or Xplorers through the built-in USB hub. For field work, add the optional Palm OS kit.

Pure Digital Probeware™
All PASPORT sensors connect to USB ports and ensure stable and repeatable measurements.
MultiMeasure Sensor™ Technology
Some PASPORT sensors, such as Voltage/Current or Humidity/Temp/Dew Point, contain multiple sensors in one box.
Upgradeable Data Sheets
Each PASPORT sensor contains a data sheet that identifies its uses, measurements and preferred displays. When a sensor update is necessary, a revised data sheet is included in a new release of DataStudio software. As the sensor is used with the newer version of DataStudio, the sensor's data sheet is simultaneously updated.

The EZscreen software included with each sensor provides for data acquisition and display.The addition of DataStudio will greatly expand the use and versatility of each sensor. A DataStudio site license provides a very affordable means of giving your whole school community access.
Put a PASPort Temperature Lab in your class today at a very reasonable price! Everything you need (except the computer) to perform a wide range of experiments. The PASPORT Temperature Lab includes:
• Temperature Sensor
• USB Link
• Quick Reference Card
• DataStudio "Lite" & EZscreen software
To expand and customise your data analysis options, we suggest you add DataStudio Software. With your USB Link, you can also add any of the other PASPort Sensors to enhance your measurement capability.
