The 850 is PASCO’s most flexible interface and is designed specifically to be used in conjunction with the powerful PASCO Capstone software.
The 850 interface boasts four digital inputs, four analog ports, four PASPORT sensor ports, a 15 W function generator, dual high speed function generators and much more.
The Four Digital Inputs allow direct use of photogates and other digital sensors (such as Time-of-Flight), with no adapter needed! The four analog inputs can be used with PASCO’s entire line of analog CI sensors. Plug voltage sensors into them and measure voltages to ±20 V at sample rates of up to 10 MHz on 1 or 2 channels or 1 MHz on four channels.
The four PASPORT sensor ports accept any of the more than 70 available PASPORT sensors. And ScienceWorkshop and PASPORT sensors can be used together meaning that there are over 120 sensors to choose from to meet any application.
The outputs on the 850 include a 15 Watt Function generator which supplies up to ±15 V @ 1 A, DC and AC. Both the output voltage and current are measured directly by the 850 and can be recorded as data.
Waveforms include sine, triangle, square and ramp (all with DC offset), with a frequency range of 0.001 Hz to 100 kHz. The two additional Function Generators supply low power at higher frequencies (up to 500 kHz), with independent control of frequency, waveform, amplitude and phase shift.
The 850 interface was designed for (and requires the use of) PASCO Capstone software. Together they form the most powerful data acquisition, display and analysis system available for science education.
Some of the features of PASCO Capstone are easily created and formatted workbook pages, the ability to undo or redo every action, simple to use tables, video capture and sync, a calibration wizard, the ability to open legacy DataStudio files and much more.
All of which makes this software powerful as well as flexible. Whether you want your students to explore and create lab write-ups on their own or you want to tailor a lab write-up with very specific instructions, PASCO Capstone has the power and flexibility to meet the needs of your lab.

for more information.
Digital sensors such as Photogates and Time-of-Flight plug directly into the 850 Interface.
For use with all analog ScienceWorkshop sensors, such as Voltage, Force, and Sound.
(Not for use with the CI-6552A Power Amplifier.)
Compatible with PASCO's complete line of more than 70 PASPORT sensors.
Independent control of frequency, waveform, and amplitude.
When connected to your computer the 850 becomes a digital multimeter; a 500 kHz oscilloscope (with multiple traces); a 100 kHz power function generator (drives speakers and mechanical drivers); dual function generators (for studying interference, beats etc.); a nuclear counter and more. And with over 120 compatible PASCO sensors your students have the instrumentation you need for practically any experiment.

This PASCO Capstone software series features the 850 Universal Interface.
Learn about the powerful new features of PASCO Capstone software for the advanced physics and engineering lab.
In this overview of the PASCO Capstone, we investigate the motion of a mass on a spring to cover these features: hardware setup, creating displays and measurements, recording data, managing runs, undo, graph display properties, and data smoothing.
Learn about these PASCO Capstone software features as we investigate the position and energy of a cart moving up and down a track: playing back recorded data, recording a webcam movie synchronized to sensor data, and creating energy calculations.
Learn how to use and modify labs in PASCO Capstone’s workbook format, which can contain text, images, movies, data displays, and text boxes for student responses.
See these PASCO Capstone features in action as the 850 interface’s output drives an LRC circuit through a range of frequencies in search of resonance: Signal Generator with a frequency sweep, Fast Monitor Mode, Scope display, and FFT display.
Through a gas pressure-volume investigation, learn how to use PASCO Capstone Tables to record discrete sensor and user-entered measurements. Also see how to quickly analyze and transform data in the Table and Graph.
PASCO Capstone software drives the output of the 850 Universal Interface as we compare the frequency response profiles of two speakers: one made from a paper cup, the other a professional speaker.
