guage and press .

menu options are available, but not visible; press the down arrow key to

Sensor Auto-Display Sensor Auto-Display causes the GLX to automatically
launch a display (such as the Graph) when you plug in a single sensor while
viewing the Home Screen, or when you turn on the GLX with a sensor con-
nected. This feature is designed to simplify basic data collection with a single
sensor.
Sensor Auto-Display is on by default. To turn it off, highlight it in the Settings
screen and press
.
Startup Action There are two options for Startup Action. By default, the Star-
tup Action is set to “Open New Experiment,” which causes the creation of a new,
empty data file every time the GLX starts up.
The other Startup Action option is “Open Last File,” which makes the GLX open
the most recently saved file whenever it starts up. It is convenient to use this
option if you plan to turn the GLX off and on during an activity, or if the GLX is
likely to automatically turn itself off due to being left idle.
To change the Startup Action, highlight it in the Settings screen and press .
