6
Ways to Capture Data with
EasySense Q
There are different ways that
EasySense Q
can be used to collect data.
1.
Real time,
in this mode
EasySense Q
is entirely driven by the software on the host
computer. The data from the sensors is transmitted immediately to the computer and
displayed on the computers screen using the applications in the Sensing Science
software. This method of collection is useful for many classroom-based experiments.
2. In
Remote
, in this mode
EasySense Q
is used to collect and store data while
disconnected from the computer. Data collection can either be setup using
EasySense Q’s
menu options (e.g. EasyLog, Snapshot or Timing – see stand-alone
operation below) or setup via the Graph program in the Sensing Science software to
log data for a set time period. The data collected in remote mode is stored in
EasySense Q’s
memory to be retrieved by the computer at a later date. Up to 4 sets
of data can be stored in
EasySense Q’s
memory. Once the four sets have been
stored
EasySense Q
will overwrite the earliest data set with the new set of data
collected.
Using
EasySense Q
in standalone operation
EasySense Q
has four working modes, displayed on the built-in LCD screen, which can
be used to collect data without being connected to the computer. These are Meter,
Snapshot, Easy Log and Timer modes.
Note:
Some of the following examples show the effect seen on the LCD screen when there is no
sensor plugged into Input 2 (number 2 will be omitted from the list).
