• Teclado numérico: For entering numerical values or text (using multi-press for letters).

4.2 Data Collection

1. Select Measurement: From the main menu, navigate to the desired measurement setup (e.g., Graph, Digits, Table).
2. Configurar axustes: Axustar sampling rate, duration, and trigger conditions as needed for your experiment.
3. Start Collection: Preme o Xogar button (often a green triangle icon) to begin data collection.
4. Stop Collection: Preme o Pare button (often a square icon) to end data collection.

4.3 Data Analysis and Review

The GLX allows for basic on-device data analysis:

• Gráfico View: Display collected data as a graph. Use navigation buttons to zoom or pan.
• Estatísticas: Access statistical tools (mean, min, max, standard deviation) for selected data ranges.
• Linear Curve Fits: Perform basic linear regression on graphical data.
• Anotación: Add text notes or recorded voice messages to data points or entire runs.

4.4 Conectando a un ordenador

For advanced analysis and data management, connect the GLX to a computer:
