Can I use my Macintosh with the TBS-380 Fluorometer?
Yes, you can collect TBS-380 Fluorometer data using a Macintosh computer. You will require a cable that connects to the Mac phone port on your computer and has a DB9 male RS-232 type connector (or an adaptor) for plugging into the fluorometer. This cable is often referred to as a “modem cable” and can be purchased from most Mac suppliers. Once you are connected to the Mac with the appropriate cable, you can capture the TBS-380 Fluorometer data with the Microphone II Program. Turner BioSystems will fax you detailed instructions upon request.
