764 Data Collection and Analysis
• Displayed Precision / Significant Figures: Specifies the number
of decimal places or significant values. The default precision is
related to the precision of the sensor.
•
Apply changes to all Data Sets: Allows you to apply the settings
to all data sets or just to the latest data set.
• Generate Values: This option box allows you to automatically
populate the manual column’s rows. You can enter a starting
value, an ending value, and an increment value. The number of
points is calculated for you.
• Link from List: Allows you to link (which acts like a copy and
paste - not automatically updated) to data held by another
TI-Nspire™ application on an additional page, such as List &
Spreadsheets. The list is only populated when data exists in the
other application and includes a column label.
• Link to List: Allows the system to link columns to the symbol
table and make the variable (such as run1.x) available to other
TI-Nspire™ applications outside of the Vernier DataQuest™
application. Linking is the default for most sensors.
Note: Heart rate and blood pressure sensors require a
tremendous amount of data to be useful, and the default for
these sensors is to be unlinked to improve system performance.
