The Preferences Dialog
From the
Preferences
dialog, you can set the name of the DataCollector that is
used in downloading experimental data to a personal computer (see “Downloading
Data to a Computer” on page 26). In a classroom setting, it may be desirable to dif-
ferentiate between multiple DataCollector units, and this can be accomplished
through the
DataCollector Name
setting. The default value for the
DataCollector
Name
is “Unit ID”.
You should add a number to the end of the name or replace it
completely using
Graffiti
(the handwriting recognition on the
Zire handheld) or by tapping the small
123
icon in the silk-
screened portion of the screen.
Tap the
Create Demo Experiment
button to create an example experiment for
learning purposes. This experiment will have the special experiment name
“Demo Data” and will be available in the
Old Experiment
dialog (see page 19).
