Graphical Analysis

Vernier Software & Technology offers a comprehensive data-collection support application that allows users to collect and analyze sensor data from Vernier Go Direct® sensors and Vernier Go Wireless® Heart Rate and Exercise Heart Rate monitors. This application also provides additional experiment options such as data sharing via Wi-Fi connection and manual data entry. It is important to note that sensor data collection and data sharing require the purchase of hardware from Vernier Software & Technology, but manual data entry can be performed without a hardware purchase.

The key features of this application include multi-sensor data-collection support, various data-collection modes, customizable data-collection rates and durations, and the option to trigger data collection based on sensor values. Users can also customize unit displays, calibrate sensors, and zero and reverse sensor readings. The application also offers a graph match feature for use with motion detectors and allows for manual data entry from a keyboard or clipboard.

In addition to data collection, this application also offers powerful data analysis tools. Users can view one, two, or three graphs simultaneously, and can also view data in a table or side-by-side with a graph. The application also allows for predictions to be drawn on graphs to uncover misconceptions, and offers tools for examining, interpolating, and extrapolating data. Users can also use the tangent tool to show instantaneous rates of change, find the area under a curve using the integral tool, and perform various statistical calculations.

Collaboration and sharing are also key features of this application. Users can create text annotations and add graph titles, and can export graphs and data for printing and inclusion in lab reports. The application also allows for files to be saved to the cloud for exchange with Graphical Analysis on other devices, and data can be exported in .CSV format for analysis in spreadsheet software. Users can also adjust font sizes for easier viewing when presenting to a class.
