You must have Capstone version 1.0 software loaded onto
your computer. Capstone 1.0 includes a driver (set of

“Computer Requirements” in this manual to ensure your

interface

Recheck the USB cable and power connections. Also,
check to ensure you have the proper hardware setup

with both a 750
USB Interface and
the 850 Universal
interface

Capstone does not allow you to collect data from a
ScienceWorkshop interface and other interfaces
simultaneously. Instead, use the Choose Interface button
in the Capstone Hardware Setup panel to alternate
between interfaces.

I am unable to

output a signal

The selected Display

any data after I
click Record.
