Data Collection names
The naming system for Data Collection data includes a group designator
and a member designator (group.member). For example, in a
temperature versus time experiment, the data is named run0.temp_C and
run0.time_s. Remember that TI-Nspireé computer software is case
insensitive: RUN0.TEMP_C and run0.temp_c reference the same set of
data.
Storing collected data
To save the current data before rerunning an experiment, use the
following instructions.
To save temperature data
1. Cut and paste each column of data into new columns.
The first two columns (Columns A and B) will be reused by the next
run of the experiment.
2. Rename each moved column.
Repeat the steps for each data sample you want to save. To permanently
save a set of data generated by an experiment, save the document.
To save motion data
1. Cut and paste each column of data into new columns.
The first two columns (Columns A and B) will be reused by the next
run of the experiment.
2. Rename each moved column.
