Interactive Nova5000 Periodic Table |
 |
| |
|
|
| |
 The Periodic Table is as crucial to Science, as the calculator is to Math, with Chemistry students in particular using this key resource on a daily basis. Students and teachers alike can now enjoy an interactive Periodic Table as part of the Nova5000’s bundled software suite and available for free download in May. Students no longer need to refer to a Web page for an interactive Periodic Table, which relies on an Internet connection. Users simply click on any element within the Periodic Table and a complete profile of the selected element is displayed, never losing the main Periodic Table view. The element profile includes: Symbol, Atomic number, Atomic weight, Oxidation states, Electronegativity, State at RT, Melting and Boiling Point. |

Probe of the Month: Triple Range Light Probe |
|
| |
|
|
| |
 The Triple Range Light probe DT009-4 can be connected to the Nova5000, MultiLogPRO or TriLink data loggers. This is a high precision, quick response light sensor, designed with a switch to select measurements in any of the three ranges: 0 – 600 lx; 0 – 6 klx and 0 – 150 klx.
Typical experiments include investigating the relationship between light intensity and distance; studying interference/diffraction/polarization of light; studying the affect of light on rate of photosynthesis, as well as demonstrating the flicker of the florescent lamps and other lamps.
The Triple Range Light probe has a high precision Photoelectric cell. Inside this photoelectric cell there is a small plate made of elements called pin-diodes. When a reversed fixed voltage is applied to the photoelectric cell, any photon that hits the pin-diodes causes the photoelectric cell to release an electron. The result is that when light levels are higher, the current through the photoelectric cell is higher. The current from the cell then passes through a resistor. The voltage is measured on this resistor and adjusted to the range of 0 - 5 V that is accepted by the Analog-Digital converter of the data logger. The proper result is then recorded and stored in the data logger’s memory.

Free Download: Light Intensity Experiment |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
To best demonstrate the functionality of Fourier’s Triple Range Light probe, we’re offering a free download of the Light Intensity experiment from the new Nova5000 Physics Experiment book. With this experiment students can explore what they expect the relationship between light intensity and distance to be, compared to actual results following experimentation with the Triple Range Light probe.

FAQ of the Month: Backing up the Nova5000 OS Image |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Question:
Can I backup my Nova5000 OS image, including all my installed software and personal files, and then update this image onto another Nova5000 unit?
Answer:
Yes you can. Using the OS Update utility, you may very easily backup your Nova OS image to your PC, so you will be able to restore the exact Nova5000 configuration onto any other Nova5000 unit. All you need is a USB sync cable and PC. This is very useful for creating and maintaining a custom OS image which you can then update onto any number of Nova’s. Please download the utility and instructions by clicking here.
