Xplorer GLX Handheld Datalogger for Education

The World's First Graphing Datalogger for Science

The new Xplorer GLX from PASCO captures, analyzes, annotates and stores data quickly and seamlessly, without being connected to a desktop computer. The Xplorer GLX has been designed to function with our line of Spectrometers for Education: the CHEM4-series Spectrophotometers and the USB-650 Red Tide Spectrometer. The Xplorer GLX is a science lab wherever you need it, whether you are in the lab or out in the field. When combined with the Xplorer GLX, our Spectrometers for Education become powerful measurement, display and analysis tools for students. The Xplorer GLX can display real-time intensity, absorbance, transmission or relative irradiance spectra in less than one second.

The PS-2636 Xplorer GLX (in blue) easily connects via USB cable to the USB-650 Red Tide Spectrometer for capturing, displaying and analyzing real-time spectroscopic data. For those who already own an Xplorer GLX, you only need to purchase the PS-2555 License Key (in silver) and an Ocean Optics spectrometer; the key will enable the Xplorer to work with our line of education spectrometers.

Stand-alone Computing Power

The Xplorer GLX is built for the demanding university teaching environment. It incorporates an easy-to-use, icon-based operating system as well as navigation buttons and a numeric/alphanumeric keypad. With 10 MB of internal memory, the Xplorer can be used as a stand-alone computer but also can interface to traditional desktop computers. If more memory is needed, save Xplorer data to a flash drive. For traditional navigation and annotation, you can plug in an optional USB mouse and keyboard. The Xplorer’s rechargeable NiMH battery enables field portability and its large backlit LCD screen is visible in both sunlight and low-light conditions. In addition, a USB port allows students to print graphs and tables directly from the Xplorer GLX to select Hewlett-Packard printers.

Built for Science

The Xplorer GLX includes helpful student features such as a built-in graphing calculator with an expression editor for analyzing trends. The datalogger also includes statistical and mathematical tools to easily review data and perform basic data analysis, such as linear curve fits. Students can annotate data points with either text notes or recorded voice messages (the GLX has a built-in speaker for sound output). The Xplorer GLX has four universal sensor ports as well as ports for two Temperature Sensors, a Sound Sensor, and a Voltage Sensor (included).

Ordering Information

Order the PS-2555 License Key if you already own an Xplorer GLX but want it to work with an Ocean Optics Spectrometer. The PS-2555 is a License Key only; it does not include a spectrometer or the Xplorer GLX. The PS-2636 comes with the Xplorer GLX and the License Key (an Ocean Optics spectrometer is sold separately). The License Key also includes a feature set from our SpectraSuite Spectroscopy Operating Software; however, if you wish to download data from the Xplorer GLX and utilize it on a desktop PC, you may want to purchase the full SpectraSuite Software.

Spectroscopy on any Operating System

SpectraSuite is a completely modular, Java-based spectroscopy software platform that operates on Windows, Macintosh and Linux operating systems. The software can control any Ocean Optics USB spectrometer and device, as well as any other manufacturer’s USB instrumentation (using the appropriate drivers). The SpectraSuite interface looks and feels the same on all operating systems yet retains the familiar appearance of an application native to each OS. Ocean Optics is the first to offer such a flexible, feature-packed application with this level of cross-platform capability.
