Data Logging
To data log is to collect information for analysis. For example,
aweatherperson might collect temperature readings throughout
theday, and then analyze it for a report on the evening news. Or
azookeeper might collect data on where visitors are spending their
time at the zoo. The EV3 Software cannot only record data, it can
help you to organize and analyze it.

the following main areas:

plots.

manage your dataset, and get access to Dataset Calculation

 Hardware Page—Establish and manage your communication
with the EV3 Brick here and see what sensors are connected
where. This is also where you download experiments to the EV3
Brick and upload data to the software.
 Content Editor—A digital workbook integrated into
thesoftware. Get instructions or document your project using
text, images, and videos.
