Numeric view: the meter mode
Whether you choose to auto-number your selected events or add a numerical entry
to each event, experiments involving a series of distinct events always start in the
Numeric View of the StreamSmart Aplet. To access the Numeric View with the
StreamSmart Aplet running, press the
meter which updates a few times per second. The meter identifies up to four
attached sensors, the units for each sensor, and the current reading of each sensor.
A sample display is shown below in Figure 3-5. In this figure, a microphone sensor
is plugged into Channel 1, and a current sensor is plugged into Channel 4.
Table 3-2 lists the menu items in the Numeric View.
