Overview
3.2.1.
MultiLab On-screen Layout
MultiLab is a comprehensive program that provides you with everything you need in
order to collect data from the TriLog, display the data in graphs, meters and tables,
analyze it with sophisticated analysis tools and view online or recorded video movies
of the actual experiment.
The program includes four windows: A graph window, table window, video window
and a navigation window called the Data Map. You can display all four windows
simultaneously or any combination of the four.
The most commonly used tools and commands are displayed on three toolbars.
Tools that relate to all aspects of the program and tools that control the TriLog are
located in the main (upper) toolbar. Tools specific to the graphs are located on the
graph toolbar and tools specific to the tables are located on the table toolbar.
Another useful feature is the Workbook. A Workbook is a Lab activity that gives the
student a step-by-step preview of the activity and then automatically configures the
MultiLab program as well as setting up the TriLog so that the student can begin
collecting the data. You can open an existing Workbook or create a new one from the
Workbook menu
