Transferring and Analyzing Data

Figure 2 shows the components used to transfer and analyze data. They are:

•

the Zire handheld computer

•

the USB synchronization cable

•

a Mac or Windows-based PC

•

the HotSync Manager software

•

the CPO Science DataCollector conduit software

After completing an experiment, the data can be transferred to a personal computer
for further analysis and manipulation. Each experiment from the Zire handheld is
saved on the PC as a

comma separated value

(CSV) file, readable by Microsoft

Excel, Mathworks Matlab, and many other programs.
