Ways to capture data with EASY SENSE Q 3+ or 5+
There are different ways that EASY SENSE Q can be used to collect data.
1. PC connected.
In this mode EASY SENSE 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
EASY SENSE
software. This method of collection is useful for many classroom-based
experiments. See page 19.
2.
Stand alone.
In this mode EASY SENSE Q is used to display, collect and store data while
disconnected from the computer. Data can be:
a. Displayed on the LCD screen (but not stored) using Meter mode.
b. Displayed, collected and stored using EASY SENSE Q’s logging menu
options e.g. EasyLog , Snapshot or Timing .
c. Setup via Setup Remote in the EASY SENSE software to log data for a set
time period. See page 23.
The data collected is stored in
EASY SENSE Q’s memory to be retrieved later by the
computer (see page 24).
Up to 8 sets of data can be stored in
EASY SENSE Q’s memory. Once eight sets
have been stored, EASY SENSE Q will overwrite the earliest data set with the
newest.
