The sketch should show the location and orientation of each sensor and all the
"sources" of possible changes in the measure of the items detected by the
sensor. A photograph might be useful that then could be placed on your web
page.

The table would look like this for the set up used above:
Channel
Sensor
Units
1
Temperature
degrees C
2
Light Intensity
No units (relative)
3
Not used
DIG/SONIC
Not used

In this set up we have:
Rate of data collection (seconds per point): 960 seconds/point
Number of data points: 90 points
Length of experiment: 24 hrs

The sketches could have Time as the x-axis, but greater insight might come from
the relationship between the data from the two sensors (like temperature
versus light intensity). In addition, using two y-variables as a function of time
might be an informative graph (temperature versus light intensity). Make sure
units are included in the labeling.

Answers will vary depending on the experiment. Two things to watch for are
the need to modify the time settings based on the fact that they may get more
information with the new settings, and the second would be the exclusion or
inclusion of sensors trying to focus the hypothesis to one or two variables.

Answers will vary.
