Data Collection 125
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 uses the Lists & Spreadsheet and Graphs & Geometry
applications to do this.
Compatible sensors
Data Collection is capable of interacting with the following sensors:
• Vernier EasyTemp®
• Texas Instruments CBR2™ Motion Detector
• Vernier Go!®Temp
• Vernier Go!®Motion
Experimental data
The Data Collection tool currently collects distance or temperature data
points at regular intervals over time. Units of measure cannot be
changed.
The table below shows the number of samples and sampling interval for
the sensors currently supported.
Starting the Data Collection tool
The Data Collection tool can be started automatically or manually.
f An automatic start occurs when a sensor is connected to either a
TI-Nspireé handheld or a computer running TI-Nspireé computer
software. The connected sensor will be configured to work with the
Data Collection tool in an open Graphs & Geometry page, or if
Graphs & Geometry is not on the active page, a new page will be
opened and the page will display Graphs & Geometry and Lists &
Spreadsheet.
f The Data Collection tool can be manually added to any Graphs &
Geometry application page. When the tool is added, it will try to
