Manually Sample Data

Manually record data points instead of continuously streaming data. This method is useful for displaying a sensor measurement versus a non-sensor measurement.

  1. In the Current Data table on the Data In sheet, copy a cell containing a sensor measurement.

  2. In an empty sheet (such as Sheet 1), right-click a cell and select Paste Link under Paste Options.
    Tip: Add a label for the measurement in the cell above the measurement.


  3. Create a table to record the sensor and non-sensor measurements. Optional: Enter values for the non-sensor measurements.
  4. Highlight the table cells then insert a Scatter chart from the Insert ribbon.

  5. Go to the Data Streamer ribbon and click Start Data .
  6. Copy the live data cell.
  7. Right-click a cell to record the measurement and select Values under Paste Options.

  8. Repeat the previous step for all other data cells in the table.
