Data Collection
The Data Collection tool enables you to collect experimental information
from a sensor and automatically display it in a table and/or graph for
analysis. It works with both the Lists & Spreadsheet and Graphs &
Geometry applications. Refer to these application chapters to learn more
about using both Graphs & Geometry and Lists & Spreadsheet.
