DATACOLLECTOR HANDHELD USER’S GUIDE

Transferring and Analyzing Data

Figure 2 shows the components used to transfer and analyze data. They are:

• the Zire handheld computer

• the USB synchronization cable

• a Mac or Windows-based PC

• the HotSync Manager software

• the CPO Science DataCollector conduit software

After completing an experiment, the data can be transferred to a personal computer

for further analysis and manipulation. Each experiment from the Zire handheld is

saved on the PC as a comma separated value (CSV) file, readable by Microsoft

Excel, Mathworks Matlab, and many other programs.
