The TI-Nspire™ Lab Cradle is a device used with TI-Nspire™ handhelds, TI-Nspire™ software for computers, or as a stand-alone tool to collect data.
The Lab Cradle supports all TI sensors. It also supports more than 50 analog and digital Vernier DataQuest™ sensors, including motion detectors and photogate sensors. To see the full list of supported sensors, go to education.ti.com/education/nspire/sensors.
Important: The TI-Nspire™ CM-C Handheld is not compatible with the Lab Cradle and only supports the use of a single sensor at a time.
The Lab Cradle comes pre-loaded with its own operating system (OS). The TI-Nspire™ 3.0 operating system for handheld and computer software has been preset to recognize the Lab Cradle so you can start using it immediately.
Note: Any TI-Nspire™ OS earlier than 3.0 will not recognize the Lab Cradle. For more information about upgrading a handheld OS, see Getting Started with TI-Nspire™ CX II Handhelds.
