Setting up an offline sensor
The Add Offline Sensor option provides you with a method of setting
collection parameters and changing units for a sensor that is not
currently attached.
You cannot use an offline sensor but you can prepare it for use before it
is attached. This is useful to help speed up a lesson or lab when there are
not enough sensors for everyone, and the students are waiting for their
turn to use the sensor.
1. Select
Experiment > Advanced Set Up > Configure Sensor > Add
Offline Sensor
.
2. Select a sensor from the drop-down menu.
