is highlighted as the destination for data from the sensor in
Channel 2 of the StreamSmart 400. Pressing

, from which you can choose any other column for the data from the sensor in
Channel 2. Press

menu
key to cancel all changes; either way, you will return to the
Numeric
view.
In Figure 3-8, the
EVENT METHOD
field is highlighted, showing that
With
Entry
has been selected. You may choose to have the events auto-numbered or
skip adding any numerical entries to the events (
Event Only
). Press the
CHOOS
menu key to make a selection from these three options, as shown in Figure 3-9.
Press the

menu key to accept your new selection, or the
CANCL
menu key to
keep the current selection and return to the

Monitor and select events
Once you have activated the proper channels and set destinations for the data
from these channels, you are ready to begin collecting data. Of course, you can
always just start by collecting data using the default columns. To capture an event,
just press the
$ADD#
menu key. If you have selected to capture events only, or to
have them auto-numbered, you will see a display similar to the one depicted in
Figure 3-10, which shows that your event data are being added to the current data
set. If you have selected to add events to your entry, the display will appear as
shown in Figure 3-11, prompting you to add your numerical entry to the event just
captured.
