Page 5: Vincilab At A Glance
INCI AB AT A LANCE 1. Introduction VinciLab is a modern and advanced mobile graphic data acquisition system, which can be used in a variety of ways, standalone and with a computer and tablet, in the classroom and in the field. It is a handheld Linux device equipped with two processors: a main processor to control the device’s operating system and screen, and a measurement processor to control the measurement and control processes. It has 8 GB of internal memory 5.5 GB of which is available for user files. VinciLab has a 5” capacitive color touch screen that provides a high-resolution display (800 x 480 pixels) offering easy control of the device. For wireless connectivity VinciLab is equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The dedicated desktop applications, pre-installed on VinciLab, offer tools for setting up the device, setting up wireless connections,... -

Internal microphone Tab A2 has additional button Enable Internal microphone, which switches this output to measure via the Internal microphone. This allows using internal microphone with combination with other sensors. The Activity Sound only allows to measure only with the internal microphone. It has only tab Internal, which displays settings of the internal microphone. Note that if an external microphone is connected via Audio In port then the internal microphone is disconnected and the external microphone is used instead. Options of the Sensor Settings dialog: Sensor: displays the sensor’s name, number and brand. Range: displays the sensor range, for sensors with the EEPROM memory this is the range stored in the EEPROM (selected by default). Most sensors have more measurement ranges. - Page 31 the mathematical relation between the voltage values produced by the sensor (in most cases) and the values of the physical quantity measured. There are two ways to perform a calibration: • By providing a calibration function: method Function. • By providing calibration points in the calibration table: method Points (not possible for the EEPROM memory). These points can be: - measured, the sensor voltage value is measured and the value of the corresponding quantity is typed. In this case the sensor has to be connected to the active interface. Such a calibration is the most accurate calibration. - Keyed in, both the sensor voltage value and the value of the corresponding quantity are typed. The best function fit, through the calibration points, is calculated according to the least-squares method.

WARRANTY DISCLAIMER: PROPER USE OF A TAP-SCREEN Please note that a touch screen responds best to a light tap from the pad of your finger or a special non-metallic stylus. Using excessive force or a metallic object when pressing on the touch screen may damage the glass surface and void the warranty. 5. Battery precautions • Do not place the battery in or near fire, on stoves or other high temperature locations such as direct sunlight. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, explode or ignite, or generate a toxic gas if placed in contact with fire. • In the event the battery leaks and the fluid gets into one's eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye. • Discard batteries according to local regulations. 6.
