For almost 50 years, PASCO has been the leading provider of innovative solutions for teaching physics.
Over these many years, we had been bringing the best of these modern technologies to physics
and engineering programs worldwide.
Today we announce our latest innovation.
The new PASCO 850 Universal Interface and PASCO Capstone software integrate the electronic
instrumentation you use to teach physics and engineering programs today with new and very
powerful data-analysis capabilities.
Together, this solution will serve as the foundation of your modern lab environment.
The 850 Universal Interface is the most powerful interface that PASCO has ever brought to the student classroom.
With a maximum sampling rate of 10 MHz, students can do a variety of circuit and signal analysis
all the way up to the low-radio frequencies.
The 850 has not one, but three outputs.
The first is a power amplifier. The power amplifier can go up to an amazing 15 W.
This makes it as capable as most standalone power amplifiers.
In addition to that, we have two high-speed outputs that go up to 500,000 Hz.
These can be used for circuit analysis and for generating signals.
The 850 is truly a universal interface.
It allows you to use Science Workshop analog sensors. These will give you the high sample
rates that you're looking for.
You can use the Science Workshop digital sensors. This will give you things like
photogate analysis and nuclear analysis.
And you can use PASPORT sensors. This will give you multimeasure sensors of all varieties,
up to eight temperature sensors in a single sensor port.
The oscilloscope, the power amplifier, the multimeasurement all by themselves are phenomenal.
But when you combine them together into a single interface, you have a standalone device
that replaces a variety of instrumentations, and saves you time and money.
We realized early on in the development cycle that we needed to redesign our software
from the ground up.
With PASCO Capstone, we're bringing the tools and visualizations that a modern physics and
engineering lab have come to expect to life.
The new workbook-centric design allows you to quickly add a data display, an image,
text box, or video into your experiment.
You can choose from one of the pre-built templates that allow you to
lay out your elements beside each other,
or you can drag and drop a display element directly on to the page using the smart regions
to guide where the elements go.
This allows the user to quickly lay out the images that don't overlap, and they can resize
them so that they all move together.
The tool palettes bring all the experiment controls--including the setup information,
timers, calibration, display insertion, or data collection options--within easy reach.
The ability to undo any action in the software allows you to confidently explore all the
features and options available.
You can undo or redo anything, from deleting data to customizing calculations.
These new features, alongside many others, will enable your students to quickly access
the powerful data-analysis capabilities of the software.
PASCO Capstone will allow you to rethink what's possible in your lab environment.
The instrumentation found in the 850 Universal Interface and the powerful data-analysis capabilities
of the PASCO Capstone software,
continue PASCO's tradition of making available the best possible technologies for physics
and engineering programs worldwide.
With these new products PASCO continues to look towards the future and to enhance what's
possible in today's classrooms.
