You may have noticed when you plug in a CBR2 using the mini-USB it
automatically launches EasyData app. You can then just press ‘soft key’
for “Start” and a graph of the data shows up in real-time. However, if
you are not moving, the auto scale makes it look like a jagged graph.
This may be confusing to students. “If I wasn’t moving, why does my
graph look like I was.” They may not realize that the y scale is only
over a few millimeters, and this shows the amount of precision that the
motion detector is able to account for as it determines the distance
sound reflects off of a surface. “Attend to precision” is an important
mathematical practice.
Not all of the modes do this auto-scaling. Distance Match does not auto scale.
