Changing the X-Axis Measurement (aka X-Y Graphing)

Using DataStudio TIP OF THE MONTH -- April 2003

You may have noticed that when sensor data is plotted in a graph display, the sensor measurement is placed on the y-axis and Time is always placed on the x-axis. This is the default setting. However, you can replace the Time measurement on an existing graph display and plot your sensor data versus any other data on your Data List. This allows you to view and analyze trends in data sets such as Force vs. Acceleration in NewtonÕs 2nd Law experiments, pH vs. Solution Concentration in titrations, or Pressure vs. Inverse Volume in Boyles Law demonstrations.
