Data-Collection Settings
The Sensors menu provides access to detailed setup
controls. Use this menu to set up internal sensors, non-
auto-ID sensors, and wireless sensors. You can also use
this menu to change the data-collection parameters and
adjust sensor-specific settings.
Sensor Setup – Choose Sensor Setup from the
Sensors menu to view sensors connected to the
analog and digital ports. To manually set up non-
auto-ID sensors, tap the field displaying “No
Sensor” for the channel to which your sensor is
connected. Then choose the appropriate sensor from
the list and tap OK.
You can also activate (or deactivate) the internal
sensors from the Sensor Setup dialog box. Select
the check box next to the desired sensor to make
that sensor available for data collection.
Data Collection – Choose Data Collection from the
Sensors menu to set the data-collection mode and
associated parameters. The parameters listed will
depend on the mode selected. Data-collection
modes include Time Based, Events with Entry,
Selected Events, Photogate Timing, Full Spectrum,
Gas Chromatograph, Drop Counting, and Data
Matrix.
o Mode: Time-Based – Time-based data collection
is the default data-collection mode for most
sensors. In this mode, sensor readings are
recorded at regular time intervals.
Adjustable parameters for this mode include the
rate (or interval) and duration of data collection.
The total number of samples to be collected
based on these parameters will be displayed.
