Using Advanced Data Collection Options
To collect information at a remote location, you will set up and use a
remote sensor.
Use one of the two following methods to collect data using a remote
sensor:
• The manual trigger on the TI-Nspire™ Lab Cradle or a sensor with a
trigger to start the collection.
• A time delay to start the collection.
Setting Up Offline Sensors
Use the Add Offline Sensor option to set collection parameters and
change units for a sensor that is not currently attached to a computer or
handheld.
You cannot use a sensor offline, but you can prepare it for use before it is
attached. This option makes it faster to share the sensor during a lesson
or lab when there are not enough sensors for everyone.
