Not an upgrade on existing software, PASCO Capstone was built from the ground up to be the most powerful and flexible option available.

While it was designed in conjunction with the new 850 Universal Interface, Capstone is completely compatible with all PASCO USB Interfaces – the 850, Xplorer GLX, SPARKlink, SPARK, USB link and even older interfaces such as the Science Workshop 750 or 500.
