Durability The Lab Cradle is durable enough to withstand extensive use in the classroom and in the field. It is designed to survive being dropped from a height of 36 inches, the height of a standard lab table. Storing/Operating Temperature Ranges The Lab Cradle storage temperature range is between -40°C (32° F) to 70°C (158° F). The Lab Cradle, when used as a stand-alone data collection tool, operates in temperatures from 10° C (50° F) to 45° C (113° F). Triggering Methods The Lab Cradle has two options for triggering data collection-automatic or manual. To use automatic triggering, define the criteria in the Vernier DataQuest™ application to start data collection. The Lab Cradle can trigger on either an increasing or decreasing value. Manual triggering is defined in the Vernier DataQuest™ app. By setting the trigger delay value to zero, you can start data collection by pressing the trigger button on the Lab Cradle when using it as a stand-alone data collection tool. You can define a delay in triggering the data collection when using the Lab Cradle with a computer or handheld. The Vernier DataQuest™ app starts a countdown based on the time delay you define. When the countdown reaches zero, the Lab Cradle and its connected sensors begin collecting data. Multi-Channel Data Collection You can connect up to five sensors to the Lab Cradle. It provides three analog BT connectors and two digital BT connectors. The Lab Cradle supports multi-channel data collection by allowing you to collect data through all five sensors at the same time. When using all five sensors at the same time, the time stamp is the same for all data collection streams. Sampling Rate The maximum sampling rate for a Lab Cradle using a single BT sensor is 100,000 samples per second. This sampling rate allows you to collect data for high-sample sensors, such as microphones, blood pressure monitors, and hand-grip heart rate monitors. TI-Nspire™ Lab Cradle 93

Durability
The Lab Cradle is durable enough to withstand extensive use in the
classroom and in the field. It is designed to survive being dropped from a
height of 36 inches, the height of a standard lab table.
Storing/Operating Temperature Ranges
The Lab Cradle storage temperature range is between -40°C (32° F) to
70°C (158° F).
The Lab Cradle, when used as a stand-alone data collection tool, operates
in temperatures from 10° C (50° F) to 45° C (113° F).
Triggering Methods
The Lab Cradle has two options for triggering data collection—automatic
or manual.
To use automatic triggering, define the criteria in the Vernier
DataQuest™ application to start data collection. The Lab Cradle can
trigger on either an increasing or decreasing value.
Manual triggering is defined in the Vernier DataQuest™ app. By setting
the trigger delay value to zero, you can start data collection by pressing
the trigger button on the Lab Cradle when using it as a stand-alone data
collection tool.
You can define a delay in triggering the data collection when using the
Lab Cradle with a computer or handheld. The Vernier DataQuest™ app
starts a countdown based on the time delay you define. When the
countdown reaches zero, the Lab Cradle and its connected sensors begin
collecting data.
Multi-Channel Data Collection
You can connect up to five sensors to the Lab Cradle. It provides three
analog BT connectors and two digital BT connectors.
The Lab Cradle supports multi-channel data collection by allowing you to
collect data through all five sensors at the same time. When using all five
sensors at the same time, the time stamp is the same for all data
collection streams.
Sampling Rate
The maximum sampling rate for a Lab Cradle using a single BT sensor is
100,000 samples per second. This sampling rate allows you to collect data
for high-sample sensors, such as microphones, blood pressure monitors,
and hand-grip heart rate monitors.
