Gadget of the Month: Image Probe
Image probes provide quick and easy ways to gather and transfer a wide array of scientific data. An image probe allows you to take the science lab outside and take detailed readings of everything from barometric pressure to pH. Available sensors allow image probes to provide useful information for Earth Science, Biology, Meteorology, Chemistry, and Physics classes. For example, the ImagiProbe™ Wireless System combines software, sensors and a handheld computer to create a portable lab.www.imagiworks.com
ImagiProbe Software
There are 2 components to the ImagiProbe software. The Palm OS application enables you to setup, collect, and view data from a variety of sensors. The Win/Mac conduits transfer this data to your desktop during HotSync.
PASPORT AirLink Sensor Interface
The PASPORT AirLink Sensor Interface connects to a Bluetooth-enabled Palm handheld and communicates data from the sensors to the ImagiProbe software.
