You can use the same key sequence to check the number of times you have
entered data for
any
prompt.
To end data collection in Program #1, simply press the END key. If you
forget to exit Data Collection and simply turn the TriCoder off, do not panic
– the TriCoder has saved your data. Pressing the F1 key while in Data
Collection also exits data collection and returns you to the Mode Menu.
Using the END key to end Data Collection is the preferred method.
Reviewing and Editing Data
During or after collecting data, it is possible to review and edit
the data while it is still in the TriCoder. You can also delete
data entirely.
Data Review Mode
is a handy tool – especially if
you know you’ve made a mistake and want to correct it before
you upload your data.
For the tutorial, lets say that we just wanted to take a break from collecting
data, exited DATA COLLECTION (by pressing the END key), turned off
the TriCoder and went to lunch. We’re back now and want to resume our
data collection. Turn the TriCoder back on and just as in step 1; get into
DATA COLLECTION mode. Since there is already data in the TriCoder,
instead of simply displaying the prompt, the TriCoder plays the “DATA
FILE EXISTS” voice message, and displays the same message on the
TriCoder screen:
DATA FILE EXISTS
HIT ANY KEY_
then immediately displays the ENTER DATA prompt.
Say we want to review the data already in the TriCoder - maybe
we made a mistake or think we missed some data. To review
data already in the TriCoder, press the “UP ARROW” key on
the TriCoder keypad. The TriCoder will beep – 2 low beeps then 2 high
beeps and display:
Data Review Request
Press <BEGIN> key to
Start or <F1> for
Data Collection_
If we just wanted to go into DATA COLLECTION, we would
simply press F1 and start scanning again, but we want to
review the data already collected so press the BEGIN key to
get into DATA REVIEW mode. Once in DATA REVIEW
mode, the TriCoder displays the last data collected. To get to the beginning
