Entering and Editing Data

In addition to actual data collection, there are a number of ways to input data into Logger Pro. For example, you can type data into the data table; open data files created by other Vernier Software programs; cut, copy, paste, or import text or data from a TI graphing calculator, or Vernier interfaces. For more detail, see the options below.

• You can type data directly into the data table. To type data into a cell, click on the cell and type a value. You can use either the mouse or arrow keys to navigate between and within the table cells. Press the Enter/Return key after typing the value to move to the cell below or to the right as specified in Preferences. The Tab key navigates between columns. See Selecting and Editing Cells for more information.
• You can also import data from older versions of Logger Pro.
• Text or text files (such as those created in Microsoft Excel, word processors, etc.) can be imported into Logger Pro.
• You can import data from TI graphing calculators, LabPro, or CBL 2 devices using the TI-Graph Link cable. Do so by choosing Import From... TI Device from the File menu or clicking the Import button .
• Data collected and stored in the LabPro interface can be imported using the serial (Windows only) or USB cable. Do so by choosing Import From... LabPro from the File Menu.
• Data collected with LabQuest can be retrieved using a USB cable. If you have data saved in a file on LabQuest, use the LabQuest Browser to open the file. If you have data in LabQuest that has not been saved, Logger Pro will offer to retrieve the data.
• Data copied onto the clipboard can be pasted into a data table.
