Working with Investigations and Trials

Before you can collect data with an ImagiProbe ™ system, you must add a new
investigation and within that investigation, a new data collection trial. After you have
added and named a trial, you must specify the trial's data collection parameters: the
sensor(s) you have connected to TriLog and the sampling rate for the sensor(s). You
may also choose to add notes to an investigation or trial.

1.Adding a New Investigation

To add a new investigation, from the Investigations form:
1. Tap New Investigation
2. Enter a name for the investigation (e.g., Ohm's Law).You can
change the investigation's default name by tapping on the name and
changing it in the New Name dialog box. If you are not sure how to
enter text, refer to your Palm Powered computer's manual
3. Tap OK to make the name change
Note: The ImagiProbe application always provides a default name for an
investigation (e.g., Investigation 1)

2.Adding a New Trial

To add a new trial, from the Trials form:
1. Plug in the sensor you need for this trial
2. Tap New Trial
ImagiProbe opens the Edit Trial Setup form. If Automatic Sensor Detection is on (the
default option), TriLog automatically detects the sensors and their calibration (see
page 12). To learn how to select working mode and how to assign sensors manually
see on page 27.
3. Enter a name for the trial (e.g. Bulb Characteristics). You can
change the trial's default name by tapping on the name and
changing it in the New Name dialog
