mmacro 0 #1 July 15, 2009 I just ordered a Pro-Track. I use a iBook and Paralog. Do I need to order the L&B adapter to connect it to the 3rd party logging software on my Mac? I just don't want to drop that much money if I can pick up a generic cable from an electronics store for $5 that will work instead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The pro-track has an infra-red LED on back which lines up with an IR receiver in the cradle with a standard serial connection on the other end. It's not a standard IR protocol. There are other recording altimeter devices that have mini-USB or standard IR interfaces. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erdnarob 1 #3 July 15, 2009 I am not sure that the Protrack sofware is Apple compatible. I am on Apple Leopard and I have a Protrack. Could you confirm that can work?Learn from others mistakes, you will never live long enough to make them all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohanW 0 #4 July 15, 2009 The JumpTrack software is not compatible with OSX. You could run it in multiboot or Parallels or something. Paralog is compatible with OSX and with ProTracks. All of this according to published documentation, not first hand experience.Johan. I am. I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danielcroft 2 #5 July 15, 2009 It's meant to be compatible but I can't even get the Paralog installer to fire up let alone the application. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmacro 0 #6 July 15, 2009 I've got Paralog to work. It installed fine. I suggest contacting Klaus if you are having problems. I was asking about how Pro-Track attaches to computers. I did not know if it had a mini USB, or I have to buy the L&B IR dock. Their user guide does not give specifics of the device. I've read that some peole are having problems with the IR connection and was hoping to find some more feedback (good or bad) about this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hchunter614 0 #7 July 15, 2009 You will have to buy the ProTrack dock which uses a serial port connection. I believe that L&B sell a serial to USB connector or you can buy one at your local PC store. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohanW 0 #8 July 16, 2009 Do you have the most recent Java version installed? Can't find it on Klaus' website offhand, but seem to recall that being a prerequisite. 1.6.0.14, I think.Johan. I am. I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danielcroft 2 #9 July 16, 2009 I thought I did but I'll double check, thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
