TriLink wireless data logging - 8 channels

TriLink is the new wireless data logger from Fourier.     Available in March 2005.     rhs
Based on the MultiLogPRO design, TriLink has gone one step further by integrating Bluetooth wireless technology.
TriLink is now able to communicate with all types of current and future PALMs, PCs and Pocket PCs.

Connecting TriLink to the laptop via USB cable enable students to perform numerous experiments.

• Bluetooth wireless communication
• Additional USB communication channel for connection to PC
• Sampling of up to 8 sensors
• More than 50 available sensors
• High sampling resolution of 12bits
• Fast sampling rate of up to 20,800 samples per second
• 256K internal sample memory
• Built-in keypad and display
• Available graphical analysis software for PC, MAC, PDA and Pocket PC
• User-friendly
• Low and effective cost

Multi-featured TriLink Data Logger simultaneously enables sampling of up to 8 sensors from a choice of over 50 sensors. Multiple readings are shared on the LCD display.
All measurements are stored in the TriLink 256K interval sampling memory.
The built in rechargeable battery allows experimentation in the field or the Lab.
Advanced data collection is enabling by fast and high resolution sampling.
TriLink can receive up to 20,800 samples per second, at a 12bit resolution.

Wireless Technology TriLink embodies next generation data logging.
Wireless experimentation means students are no longer tied to their PC.
Now free from the clutter of cables their work can be organized and flexible.
Multimedia software and analysis tools are available.


TriLink Software: MultiLab™ For desktop computers:

The best analysis software with unique multimedia tools, including Video Motion Analysis

For Windows 98/2000/ ME/XP  or  Mac OS9/X:

The comprehensive software program accompanying TriLink provides everything needed to collect the data and display it in graphs, meters and tables.
Students can then analyze the data with sophisticated analysis tools and even view online or recorded video movies of the actual experiment.
Fourier’s complimentary camera lets students film their entire experiment process.

Video Motion Analyzer takes any movie of motion (for example, throwing a ball) and converts it into data.
The data can then be analyzed with all of MultiLab’s analysis tools.

PC & Mac Software Features
• Graph, video, table and meter displays
• True multimedia reports of the experiment with data, video, audio and text files
• Online or recorded video stream of the actual experiment
• Recording audio comments
• Working with USB Communication port
• Online data transfer and display of data in real time
• Automatic and manual data download
• Quick export and import of samples data to Excel
• Programs data loggers using setup Wizard
• Data Analysis Wizard:
• Workbooks – Lab manuals with quick MultiLogPRO setup programming

For PDA devices:

Operating System: PDA OS 4.0 or higher Pocket PC 2003 or higher

Using wireless Bluetooth communications, the TriLink can interface with Fourier’s new PDA/ WINCE MultiLab software.

Bluetooth® technology is the future of wireless communications - an open specification enabling short-range wireless connections between desktop and notebook computers, handhelds, mobile phones, digital cameras and many more devices. Using the globally available frequency band (2.4GHz) for worldwide compatibility, Bluetooth technology allows unplugged and cable free work connecting your data logging devices to your PCs.

PDA Software Features
• Variety of displays: Meter, table, graph
• Results beamed from student to student
• Online sampling with the TriLink
• Offline data download from TriLink
• Full analysis functions including: Derivative, linear fit, integral
• Graphical manipulations including: Markers, zoom, color control, scaling
• Setup Wizard functionality
• Hotsync to PC: Exports data to Fourier Desktop MultiLab
• Running under PDA, Pocket PC OS


Sensors

More than 50 high-performance and accuracy sensors can be used with TriLink.
These sensors cover the complete science curriculum throughout students’ academic careers.
Recently Fourier has added a whole new range of sensors enabling teachers to broaden the variety of science experiments and student understanding.
These include a wireless heart rate sensor, new Soil Moisture, Potassium, Nitrate, Flow rate, Charge, Chloride, Calcium and Amonium electrodes.

Curriculum
TriLink comes with Fourier curriculum packs, catering to middle and senior schools across the Physics, Biology and Chemistry curriculums. Experiment books are bursting with hundreds of complete student activities. Every one includes equipment checklists, setup procedures and step-by-step instructions to ensure successful experimentation.
Scientific concepts are clarified via multimedia software data analysis exercises. These entail exercises for video analysis, plus graphs, equations and questions.
