Notice when we deleted that run, it removed it both from my graph and also from our Data Summary. Now let's pin that to our screen by clicking on the pin in the upper right hand corner of that box and delete the last run. And I have three runs for each one of those. Here you'll see that I have a Motion Sensor connected, which has Position, Velocity, and Acceleration data available. Just to confirm that this graph is not just showing me my runs, I can also see that all my runs and measurements are available via my Data Summary, which is the next button found in my Tools palette. Now you see both my two previously recorded runs and Run #3. Let's go ahead and collect Run #3 to see what happens. So now I can go through and select more than one run, so I see Run #1 and Run #2. The Run Display button also is a toggle for that behavior. Now let's say we want to look at both of the runs at the same time. You'll see Run #2 is checked, but I can quickly select Run #1 to take a look at it. This shows me all the runs that are currently available.
You'll see the Run Display Options button has a drop-down beside it. Let's stop recording and go back into our toolbar. You'll see that the default behavior is to hide Run #1 and only show you one run at a time, which, in this case, is the most recent Run #2. Let's go ahead and see what happens whenever I start recording Run #2. Once again, I can scale all those at the same time.
I'm going to begin with Position and add a couple other plot areas for Velocity and Acceleration. This creates a full-screen graph, where I can select my measurements. Instead of choosing one of the templates for this one, I'm going to double-click the Graph button in my Displays palette. Let's insert a new page by clicking on the Add New Page button. Now I'm going to make a full-page graph, which will allow me to add a couple plot areas, and also allow me to dismiss the table, which I'm not really using right now. Notice that our graph also is scaling the time axis to make sure that all the data is visible. We can further zoom in on our graph by selecting the Scale button in the toolbar. You'll see that we have live data collection going on in our table and our graph.
Now we can begin recording by selecting the Record button in the lower left hand corner. I'm going to put Position and Velocity in my table, and I'm going to select Position for my graph measurement. And I'm going to go ahead and select my measurements for these columns. I'm going to choose the Table & Graph template. I'm going to begin by selecting one of the QuickStart templates.
Now let's start getting ready for data collection. I can quickly dismiss the Hardware Setup just by clicking on it again. You'll see that port number four is connected to my Motion Sensor, which is confirmed by this green line connecting them. You'll see that I have the 850 connected, showing all the ports available. This is found down the left hand side of your screen at the top of the Tools. To confirm what I have connected here to my PASCO Capstone software, I'm going to begin by taking a look at my Tools palette and opening up the Hardware Setup. Hanging above is a spring with a mass that's going to be oscillating. I'm also going to be using the 850 Universal Interface, connected to our PASPORT Motion Sensor. In this video we're going to take a look at getting started with PASCO Capstone software.
