Using a thermostat with Tracker

Hi,

Can I use an electric thermometer data collected inside Tracker which will be synchronized with my video?

I can also export the experiment's table into Excel and add the temp. info their, but I rather combine it all inside Tracker.

Thanks,

Hello Oren,

You can combine Tracker video data with sensor data in the Data Tool. To open Data Tool, choose the Window|Data Tool... menu in Tracker.

You can send Tracker data directly to the Data Tool by right-clicking any Tracker plot or table and choosing Analyze... from the popup menu.

You can import data into the Data Tool (e.g. from your temp sensor) either by cutting/pasting from another application or by saving the sensor data in a text file and then choosing the  File|Import Data... item in Data Tool.

Hope this helps. Doug
