Storing a Data Set For most experiments data is collected for multiple trials (runs). You can store the data set from the latest run before performing a new run. Storing the data prevents it from being overwritten and retains the data by creating a new data set for the next run. The data set is not saved outside the application until you save the data set as a TI-Nspire™ or PublishView™ document. Important: You must save the document if you want to keep the data after the application has been closed. Note: The PublishView™ application is only available in the computer software. If you do not need to retain the data from the previous run, overwrite the data set by starting another collection without storing the current data run. To store a data set:  Click Experiment > Store Data Set. The first data set is stored as "Run 1" by default and "Run 2" opens for collecting additional data. You can change the data set names. Saving an Experiment After you complete the experiment, save it as a TI-Nspire™ document (.tns file) or as a TI-Nspire™ PublishView™ document (.tnsp). Important: The PublishView™ application is only available in the computer software. 1. Select the document you want to save. 2. Select File > Save Document. Handheld: Press ~, and then click File > Save. The document is saved. Performing an Experiment 21

Performing an Experiment

Storing a Data Set
For most experiments data is collected for multiple trials (runs). You can
store the data set from the latest run before performing a new run.
Storing the data prevents it from being overwritten and retains the data
by creating a new data set for the next run. The data set is not saved
outside the application until you save the data set as a TI-Nspire™ or
PublishView™ document.
Important:
You must save the document if you want to keep the data
after the application has been closed.
Note:
The PublishView™ application is only available in the computer
software.
If you do not need to retain the data from the previous run, overwrite
the data set by starting another collection without storing the current
data run.
To store a data set:
Click
Experiment > Store Data Set.
The first data set is stored as “Run 1" by default and “Run 2" opens
for collecting additional data. You can change the data set names.
Saving an Experiment
After you complete the experiment, save it as a TI-Nspire™ document
(.tns file) or as a TI-Nspire™ PublishView™ document (.tnsp).
Important:
The PublishView™ application is only available in the
computer software.
