424 Data Collection
Data Collection
The Vernier DataQuest™ application is built into the TI-Nspire™ software and
the operating system (OS) for handhelds. The application lets you:
• Capture, view, and analyze real-world data using a TI-Nspire™ handheld,
a Windows® computer, or a Mac® computer.
• Collect data from up to five connected sensors (three analog and two
digital) using the TI-Nspire™ Lab Cradle.
Important: The TI-Nspire™ CM-C Handheld is not compatible with the Lab
Cradle and only supports the use of a single sensor at a time.
• Collect data either in the classroom or at remote locations using collection
modes such as time-based or event-based.
• Collect several data runs for comparison.
• Create a graphical hypothesis using the Draw Prediction feature.
• Play back the data set to compare the outcome to the hypothesis.
• Analyze data using functions such as interpolation, tangential rate, or
modeling.
• Send collected data to other TI-Nspire™ applications.
Adding a Vernier DataQuest™ Page
Note: The application is launched automatically when you connect a sensor.
Starting a new document or problem for each new experiment ensures that the
Vernier DataQuest™ application is set to its default values.
▶ To start a new document containing a data collection page:
From the main File menu, click New Document, and then click Add Vernier
DataQuest™.
Handheld: Press c, and select Vernier DataQuest™ .
▶ To insert a new problem with a data collection page into an existing
document:
From the toolbar, click Insert > Problem>Vernier DataQuest™.
Handheld: Press ~ and select Insert > Problem > Vernier DataQuest™.
