It allows easy experiment setup, data collection, real-time display of data in graph(s), data analysis, storing the data in Lists and in csv format, configure and manage experiment setups.  The newest **Data Logger version 2.0**, next to already the known options offers a new measurement type:  interval. This type of measurement allows to measure time interval between the flanks of the sensor signal, which makes timing measurements with photogates, connected in the daisy-chain mode, quite easy. New are also: the AVERAGE option in the ANALYSE screen and the ORIGIN option – linear regression through the origin point (y= a*x) in the FIT screen.    ## Data logger app Download the **DataLog.g3a** file and copy the file into the fx-CG50 calculator’s memory over a USB connection. **Do not** **forget** to **update your CLAB** with the newest firmware, you need at least version **2.33.** [Data Logger v. 2.0 (DataLog.g3a), 22.10.2021](https://cma-science.nl/downloads/en/software/dataloggerapp/DataLog.g3a) ## Support materials Download **Data Logger User’s Guide** to learn about options and features of the Data Logger application.  To get started follow the instructions given in the **Data Logger App Quick Start Guide. **  [User Guide v. 2.0 (pdf) 22.10.2021](https://cma-science.nl/downloads/en/software/dataloggerapp/Data%20Logger%20App%20Users%20Guide%20ver%202.0.pdf) [Quick Start v. 1.0 (pdf) 22.10.2021](https://cma-science.nl/downloads/en/software/dataloggerapp/Data%20Logger%20App%20Quick%20Start%20ver.1.0.pdf) [Quick Start Videos](#videos) [Examples of Experiments Videos](#experiments) ## Data Logger App Quick Start Videos ## Quick Start 7 Video's  #### Getting and Installing the Data Logger app 2:08  #### Connecting CLAB and sensors 1:18  #### Measurement and reviewing results 1:37  #### Using internal accelerometer 1:09  #### Modifying measurement settings 1:03  #### Setting up sensors manually 1:51  #### Working with Setups 1:28 ## Examples of Experiments with CLAB and fx_CG50 ## Experiments 5 Video's  #### Newton's law of cooling 3:01  #### Induced emf 2:12  #### Polarization of light 2:54  #### Sound waves 2:17  #### Graphing motion 1:59
