The ImagiProbe 3.0 software enables students to quickly setup and organize their data collection. The application organizes data collection episodes into investigations and trials. An investigation addresses a question you want to answer with evidence derived from a series of data collection trials. Teachers can setup templates for data collection trials enabling them to embed science content directly into ImagiProbe 3.0 to meet curriculum requirements.

Data and related notes are easily moved to a desktop computer through Palm's HotSync procedure. Once on the desktop, teachers and students can import data into any analysis or spreadsheet application.

You can specify the sample rate or activate button press sampling so the ImagiProbe software collects a sample every time the button on the TriLog data logger is pressed. This data is displayed in a table and includes a comments field for each sample.

Sampling Durations
The ImagiProbe software application enables you to specify the duration of your data collection trial in three ways:

Manual - start and stop a trial anytime by pressing the button on the TriLog data logger

Interval - specify an interval that begins by pressing the button on the TriLog data logger and ends after a selected amount of time

Schedule - specify a schedule that begins and ends on selected dates and times

The maximum duration is one week.

Data Displays
ImagiProbe software can collect and display data in 3 different views: Line Graph, Table and Bar Chart.

ImagiProbe Features
Collect Sample data manually, for a user - specify time interval, or schedule a collection to start and stop at specified times Sample data from up to 2 sensors simultaneously Sample at rates from 1 sample per hour to 20,300 samples per second Set indicators that allert you when data falls outside a specified target range Annotate Record notes or scketches about questions, predictions, methods, results and conclusions for each investigations, trial or sensor Collaborate Beam entire investigations, individual trials, or sensor definations		Analyze View graphs or data collected at different times with different sensors Copy data to ImagiCalc or QuickSheet for analysis on the palm handheld Transfer data and annotations to a desktop computer for further analysis, report writing or presentations Once transfered, view data from different perspectives using a variety of graph formats (e.g. xy plots, pie charts, bar charts) in any analysis application Calibrate Use built-in calibrations Construct custom calibrations using reference instruments or equations
