Getting Started The Vernier DataQuest™ application is built into the TI-Nspire™ software and the operating system (OS) for handhelds. Use the Vernier DataQuest™ application to collect, view, and analyze data. To use the Vernier DataQuest™ application, the TI-Nspire™ handheld OS must be 3.0 or higher. To update the OS, go to education.ti.com. About Vernier DataQuest™ • Run the application on either a TI-Nspire™ handheld or a Windows™ or Mac™ computer. • Choose from multiple sensor interfaces and sensors, such as the TI-Nspire™ Lab Cradle, to collect data. • Collect data with up to five connected sensors (three analog and two digital) using the TI-Nspire™ Lab Cradle. For a complete list of compatible sensors, see Compatible Sensors. Important: The TI-Nspire™ CM-C Handheld is not compatible with the Lab Cradle and only supports the use of a single sensor at a time. • Collect data either in the classroom or at remote locations using collection modes such as time-based or event-based. • Select and focus on a subset of collected data. • Collect several data runs for comparison. • Create a graphical hypothesis using the Draw Prediction feature. • Play back the data set to compare the outcome to the hypothesis. • Analyze data using functions such as interpolation, tangential rate, or modeling. • Display results in a graph or a table. • Customize the way results are displayed. • Link the data to other TI-Nspire™ applications. Using Vernier DataQuest™ Data in Other TI-Nspire™ Applications Data obtained during a data collection run is written to the graph and table views in the Vernier DataQuest™ application and can be used in these TI-Nspire™ applications: • Calculator • Graph Getting Started 1
