Set up and use manual sampling

Manually record individual data points instead of continuously recording data.

While in Manual Sampling mode, data is continually monitored but not recorded until you click the Keep Sample button. Use this mode when recording a sensor measurement versus a non-sensor measurement, such as in a Boyle's Law or Beer's Law experiment. It's also useful to use this mode when recording a sensor measurement versus another sensor measurement.

  1. Build a page that includes a table and a graph display. Add measurements to each display.

    Tip

    Select either Sensor Data or Build New Experiment from the Welcome Screen to help set up your experiment.

  2. Click Sampling Options.

  3. Under Sampling Mode, select Manual.

  4. Click OK.

    Note

    The sampling window now displays Manual and the Keep button is now visible. The Keep button also appears in the table after clicking Start .

  5. Click Start to begin data collection. SPARKvue displays the current measurement but does not record it.

  6. Click Keep to record a data point. Repeat for each data point you want to record.
  7. Click Stop when finished collecting data.
