A Connector between Active Laboratory Probes and Computer Interfaces of Different Brands

In PASCO's Technical Article #763, it is stated that "PASCO [also] makes sensors with an 8-pin DIN connector. These sensors cannot be used with the Vernier interfaces, as they have different power requirements." Recently we had the need to make such connections in a 10-station freshman lab. Since the Vernier input is a 6-way BT 631A plug also used in TI and Casio equipment, our experience may be of interest to a broad audience of lab coordinators.
