Data Collection and Analysis 705
Using a computer or handheld
The Vernier DataQuest™ application can be accessed and used from a
TI-Nspire™ handheld or from your computer desktop when using
TI-Nspire™ software. Unless otherwise specified, the screens and
instructions for the Vernier DataQuest™ application are the same
regardless of the TI-Nspire™ software or handheld you are using.
Besides the main application menus (and their submenus) the Vernier
DataQuest™ application also includes context menus. The context menu
provides access to the tools most commonly used with the selected
object. The context menu displays different options depending on the
active object and the task you are performing.
Note: To help illustrate how the Vernier DataQuest™ application looks
and works the same throughout the TI-Nspire™ product line, images
shown in this chapter are from a mixture of the software listed and are
also from the computer and handheld.
