(1) The PHY140Y labs start in the SECOND week of the term (the week of  September 15). Please read
Getting Started section.

(2)A full working version of the DataStudio software that you use in the laboratory is available to download from:

www.pasco.com

Get familiar with the DataStudio software before you go to your first lab.

(3)For your first assignment you will be required to download DataStudio and modify the DataStudio file called Assignment1.

You should perform the download as soon as possible and not wait for the assignment to be handed out. Once you have downloaded DataStudio, if you are using Microsoft Explorer then you only need to click on the link, Assignment1, above and the DataStudio session will start. If you are using Netscape then you must right click on the link and save the DataStudio file to a convenient location. Start a DataStudio session and open the activity (file) that you have just saved. When you start DataStudio it expects an interface like the one you will be using in the laboratory. You don't need an interface because you will not be taking data but only modifying data. Just click on Choose then Cancel to show that you do not have an interface attached to your computer.
