Overview
2.2.1. ImagiProbe
Layout
The ImagiProbe application is designed to support four major kinds of activities:
•
Creating and viewing investigations
•
Creating and viewing data collection trials
•
Adding, viewing and editing sensors and their calibrations
•
Creating, viewing and editing notes
The diagram below shows the ImagiProbe application's major modules and their
interrelationships:

Investigations and Trials
The ImagiProbe application organizes data collection episodes into investigations
and trials. An investigation addresses the question you are trying to answer with
evidence derived from a series of independent data collection trials. The ImagiProbe
application enables you to add investigations and trials, limited in size and number
only by the available memory.
Sensors and Calibrations
When you install the ImagiProbe application you will also install calibrations for
commonly used sensors. You may wish to add calibrations for these sensors, or
define new sensors along with their calibrations. The ImagiProbe application provides
a sensors module that enables you to add new sensors and calibrations. In addition,
you can install sensors and calibrations using HotSync.
