Data Filtering
Sometimes collected data is affected by extraneous “noise” that may
cause false or spurious signals to show up in the data when it is
retrieved.
The CBL uses a sophisticated data-filtering algorithm to help resolve
these problems. Various degrees of data filtering can be selected.
Record Time
The absolute time (time from beginning of the sample in seconds) or
relative time (time between samples) can be stored as data is collected
and then retrieved into the calculator.
Viewing Collected Data
As data is collected, it is displayed on the CBL screen. Pressing O
alternates among active channels and displays data as it is collected on
each channel in the CBL display.
The CBL display also contains several status indicators to inform you
when the status has changed. The status might be changed by a CBL
command sent from a calculator, the
AutoIDENT
feature, or a key press.
Summary
On the following pages you will learn more about the CBL and how to
use a calculator to send commands and retrieve collected data. Although
the CBL can perform complex experiments and complex operations, its
use is simplified by many built-in automatic features and supplied
programs.
