Q:
Why will Photogate Auto-ID with LabPro and not with CBL 2?
A:
The firmware of LabPro will allow this to occur and the firmware for CBL 2 will not. With
CBL 2, you may set up the photogate sensor in the Other Sensors menu.
Q:
I am trying to use TI Connect for Mac® to view my calculator directory while I am
connected to a sensor and in EasyData App, why am I not able to view the calculator
directory?
A:
The calculator can only communicate with one device at a time. So, while connected to a
sensor and actively reading data, and while you are in the App, you can not view the
calculator directory. Also, you may have to restart TI Connect for Mac to view the calculator
directory after leaving the App. With that being said, when the App is not actively collecting
data while monitoring on the EasyData main screen, or during a real-time graph or active data
collection, you can capture a screenshot.
Q:
Why won’t my calculator respond to any key presses?
A:
Under certain conditions the application may appear to be locked up and stop responding
to any key presses. The calculator is stuck in a failed attempt to communicate with a data-
collection device. Press
a few times to get the device out of this situation.
Q:
Why does EasyData miss my key presses?
A:
The calculator operating system will miss quick key presses if it is buys communicating
with a data-collection device. With more active communication comes the increased likelihood
of missed key presses, particularly if the key is quickly pressed and released. Press and
briefly hold the key down until the expected action occurs.
Q:
Can EasyData communicate with multiple data-collection devices simultaneously?
A:
No. Whenever EasyData first starts, it scans for devices connected to the USB port (if a
USB port is present). If nothing is found it then scans for devices connected to the I/O port.
EasyData will always find the device connected through the USB port first.
Q:
Why aren’t all data-collection modes available for all sensors?
A:
Not all modes are compatible with every sensor. Only the modes that are compatible with
the detected sensor will appear.
