Reversing a Sensor Reading Display
Use this feature to change the display of the reading.
By default, pulling with a force sensor produces a positive force and
pushing produces a negative force. Reversing the sensor allows you to
display pushing as a positive force.

the list.
To reverse the display of the sensor reading:
1. Click
Experiment > Set Up Sensor.
2. Click the sensor, and then click

The sensor display is now reversed. If you are in Meter View, the
reverse indicator appears “ ” after the sensor name.

message states that changing modes clears unsaved data.
