Statistics
The “Stats” feature for the Logger Lite software is another tool that will allow you to analyze the data you have collected. When you click on the “Stats” button, the Logger Lite software will instantly provide you with the basic statistics for the data that you have collected. For instance, you will be shown the minimum and maximum points for your data as well as the mean and median for the data. And, if the data you are analyzing includes a prediction you have made, this tool will provide the statistics for the predicted data as well, if you choose to have the prediction included.If there is more than one set of data on the screen, a smaller pop-up screen will appear and you will select the set of data for which you desire to view the statistics. The pop-up screen will look like this:



Once you have selected the data that you would like to review, your screen will appear and will look like this:



Autoscale
The Autoscale feature allows you to look at a small set of the data that you have collected. To use this tool, simply click on the "Autoscale" button at the top of the screen, then click on the graph where you want to begin examining the data. While holding down on the left hand button of the mouse, drag your cursor across the graph to the end point of the data you wish to analyze. For instance, if you want to focus on the data you collected between the 3 and 7 second points on the graph, you would click on the graph at the 3 second point and drag the mouse across to the 7 second point on the graph. When you have selected your area of data, remove your finger from the button on the mouse. The autoscale screen will appear like this:



One useful feature of the "Autoscale" tool is the fact that it allows you to view the statistics for the specific data that you have selected. So, if you wanted to find the stats for a small amount of your data that has been collected, you would simply need to select the data you wish to view using the autoscale tool, then click on the "Stats" button to view the statistics for that particular set of data. The statistics on autoscale will appear like this:



Store
Another important feature that can be used with Logger Lite is the Store tool. This tool allows you to collect multiple sets of data on the same screen. This is a great way to easily compare the data that you have collected. To use this feature, simply collect your data as you normally would, then hit the button labeled "Store." Once you have selected to store the first set of data, you can collect a second set of data and the graph will appear on the same screen as your first set of data. If you want to collect more data and compare the new data to the two previous sets of data, simply click "Store" again and then collect your new data. The graph will appear like this:



Data Collection
One final feature that I would like to point out for Logger Lite is how to change the amount of data that you collect. The software is automatically set up to collect data in 10 second increments, however, you can collect data for a longer or shorter amount of time simply by changing your data collection settings. To do this, click the "Experiment" tab at the top of the page and select "Data Collection." This will give you a screen that looks like this:



From this screen, you can change the amount of time that Logger Lite will record data from your sensor.
