Multi-Channel Sensor Interfaces
Multi-channel sensor interfaces let you connect more than one sensor at
a time.
Single-Channel Sensor Interfaces
Single-channel sensor interfaces can only connect to one sensor at a time.
These sensors have either a mini-USB connector for use with a handheld
or a standard USB connector for use with a computer. For a complete list
of compatible sensors, see Compatible Sensors.
Sensor Interface Description
Texas Instruments
TI-Nspire™ Lab Cradle
This sensor is used with handhelds,
computers, or as a stand-alone sensor.
This sensor interface allows you to connect
and use one to five sensors at the same time.
It can be used in the lab or at a remote
collection location.
The Lab Cradle supports two digital sensors
and three analog sensors.
The Lab Cradle also supports high-sample
data collection sensors, such as a hand-grip
heart rate monitor or a blood pressure
monitor.
When used as a remote sensor, you can
download data to either a handheld or a
computer.
For more information, see the TI-Nspire™
Lab Cradle Guidebook.
