Using Advanced Data Collection Options To collect information at a remote location, you will set up and use a remote sensor. Use one of the two following methods to collect data using a remote sensor: • The manual trigger on the TI-Nspire™ Lab Cradle or a sensor with a trigger to start the collection. • A time delay to start the collection. Setting Up Offline Sensors Use the Add Offline Sensor option to set collection parameters and change units for a sensor that is not currently attached to a computer or handheld. You cannot use a sensor offline, but you can prepare it for use before it is attached. This option makes it faster to share the sensor during a lesson or lab when there are not enough sensors for everyone. 1. Click Experiment > Advanced Set Up > Configure Sensor > Add Offline Sensor. The Select Sensor dialog box opens. 2. Select a sensor from the drop-down list. The sensor is displayed in the view you have open. 3. Click View > Meter. The Meter view shows the list of available sensors. The following example shows an offline motion detector sensor in Meter view. Using Advanced Data Collection Options 63
