CCProbe is part of the CCProbeware and OSLET efforts at the Concord Consortium. The curriculum included below with the CCProbe application has been developed for the TEEMSS project and is for 6, 7, and 8th grade studies in Force and Motion and Energy Transformations.

CCProbe for PalmOS

Download one of these files to get a copy of CCProbe that runs on your Palm handheld computer.

All four of the following links start the download of an archive that includes the Palm application CCProbe.prc and the Teemss project LabBook, LabBook.PDB. After downloading look for the archive file on your desktop or wherever your browser saves downloaded files. Install these files on your Palm using the Palm Desktop HotSynch program. Each download includes a ReadMe file with more detailed installation instructions.

Help with downloading and decoding archives

When you click on one of the download links your web browser will start to download the archive file into the download folder on your hard drive. If you haven't already setup a download folder you may want to do this before downloading by specifying this in the preferences for your web browser.

The archives for the MacOS Classic and Windows are self-extracting archives which create a ccprobe folder on your computer.

The archive for MacOS X is a compressed disk image file. After downloading double-click the file CCProbe.dmg. This will create a temporary volume on your computer named CCProbe. To find this new volume open a Finder window and select the menu item Go/Computer. Open the volume CCProbe and copy the ccprobe-macosx folder to your home directory on your hard drive. After you have copied the folder you can delete the temporary volume CCProbe by selecting the volume CCProbe in the Finder and using the menu item File/Eject.

If your web browser doesn't automatically expand the archive into a CCProbe folder for you, read on.

The MacOS archive is a binhex format which should be automatically decoded by the web browser to create the self-extracting archive CCProbe.sea. If your web browser doesn't do this automatically use the programStuffitExpander to process the file CCProbe.sea.hqx to create the archiveCCProbe.sea. Then double-click on CCProbe.sea to create the folderccprobe-macos-classic or ccprobe-macosx.

After downloading the Windows file run CCProbe.exe to create the folder ccprobe-windows on your hard drive.

The Unix/Linux archive can be expanded using GNU tar as follows: tar -xzf CCProbe.tgz which will create the folder ccprobe-unix.

April 1 2003, v0.7.0 build 176

PocketPC: Fixed dissapearance of character entry button in recent versions of Pocket PC operating system. This fix involves the actual Waba virtual machine so the files: waba.exe and waba.wrp need to be updated.
Source: updated build system to compile correctly with Java 1.4.x.

November 19 2002, v0.7.0 build 175

Palm: Fixed Capslock and Shift functionality in popup keyboard used to enter text.

June 21 2002, v0.7.0 build 171

All: Fixed crash when opening previously saved datasets.

June 13 2002, v0.7.0 build 170

All: Removed positive exponent from digital display. For example: 62300.1 Lux is now displayed as 62300.1 instead of 62.3001E03.
All: The light probe will no longer return negative values for Lux.
All: The 200 Newton mode of force probe was reporting 10x what it should, this is now fixed.
All: Added numeric precision settings to the probes. For example temperatureis now reported to the tenth of a degree. There is no user interface for adjusting the precision settings yet.
All: Fixed some bugs in the display of probe property dialog settings.

April 20 2002, v0.7.0 build 168

PalmOS: beaming response objects now works.
All: when exiting CCProbe the LabBook is saved again to free up any space used by deleted LabBook objects.

Downloading individual CCProbe and LabBook components

The following is information on how to download individual CCProbe and LabBook components. The only advantage in this process is that you can select just the items that need updating.

You can get the newest TEEMSS labbooks at:: ftp://concord.org/pub/ccprobeware/labbooks
PocketPC version:: ftp://concord.org/pub/ccprobeware/labbooks/LabBook
All other OSes:: ftp://concord.org/pub/ccprobeware/labbooks/LabBook.PDB
You can get the newest CCProbe at this url:: ftp://concord.org/pub/ccprobeware/bin
For the iPaq or Casio PocketPC systems we normally only update the CCProbe.wrp file. The file CCProbe.lnk is used to startup Waba and CCProbe and changes infrequently.: ftp://concord.org/pub/ccprobeware/bin/CCProbe.wrp
ftp://concord.org/pub/ccprobeware/bin/CCProbe.lnk
Here are the Waba virtual machines for the iPaq or Casio PocketPC systems. The iPaq uses the StrongArm cpu while the Casio uses the MIPS cpu. Make sure and download the appropriate virtual machine components (both exe and wrp files) for your system:: ftp://concord.org/pub/ccprobeware/pocketpc-waba/
Here is the Java jar file used for Windows, MacOS, and Linux systems:: ftp://concord.org/pub/ccprobeware/bin/CCProbe.jar

After downloading replace the older files with the newer one and try running the program again.

On MacOS X the application CCProbe is actually a set of nested folders in which the file CCProbe.jar is located. From the Finder CTRL-click on CCProbe and select Show Package Contents from the popup menu. CCProbe.jar is located in the folder CCProbe/Contents/Resources/Java/.
