14 Performing an Experiment
• Strip Chart (Optional): Strip Chart continuously collects samples
but only retains the last x data points collected. (“x” represents
the number of points defined in the Number of Points field.)
•
Data Marker (Optional): Selecting this option places the Add Data
Marker in the Data collection controls area.
Click the Add Data Marker icon to emphasize specific points, such
as when you observe a change or when you change a condition.
Some examples of change are:
– Ice begins to form.
– You stir the solution.
– You add a chemical to the solution.
