3. Gosod a Defnydd Cychwynnol
3.1 Dadbacio a Chydrannau
Ar ôl dadbacio, sicrhewch fod yr holl gydrannau'n bresennol:
- PASCO PS-2002 Xplorer GLX unit
- Rechargeable 1700 mAH NiMH Battery (pre-installed or separate)
- Cebl USB (ar gyfer gwefru a chysylltu â chyfrifiadur)
- Addasydd Pwer (os yw wedi'i gynnwys)
3.2 Codi Tâl ar y Batri
- Connect the USB cable to the GLX unit's USB port.
- Connect the other end of the USB cable to a power adapter or a computer's USB port.
- Allow the unit to charge fully before first use. The charging indicator will provide status.
3.3 Pweru Ymlaen/Diffodd
- I bweru ymlaen, pwyswch a dal y Grym button (usually located at the bottom of the keypad) until the screen illuminates.
- I bweru i ffwrdd, pwyswch a dal y Grym button until the shutdown prompt appears, then confirm.
3.4 Cysylltu Synwyryddion
The GLX features four universal PASPORT sensor ports. To connect a sensor:
- Align the sensor's connector with one of the PASPORT ports on the GLX.
- Gently push the sensor into the port until it clicks into place.
- The GLX should automatically detect the connected sensor.
4. Cyfarwyddiadau Gweithredu
4.1 Mordwyo
The Xplorer GLX uses an icon-based operating system. Navigation is primarily done using the central directional pad and function buttons (F1-F4).
- Pad Cyfeiriadol: Use the up, down, left, and right arrows to move between menu items or data points. The center button typically acts as a selection or confirmation button.
- Botymau Swyddogaeth (F1-F4): These buttons correspond to on-screen labels and provide quick access to specific functions or menus.
- Botwm ESC: Used to go back to the previous screen or cancel an operation.
- Bysellbad rhifol: For entering numerical values or text (using multi-press for letters).
4.2 Data Collection
- Select Measurement: From the main menu, navigate to the desired measurement setup (e.g., Graph, Digits, Table).
- Ffurfweddu Gosodiadau: Addasu sampling rate, duration, and trigger conditions as needed for your experiment.
- Start Collection: Gwasgwch y Chwarae button (often a green triangle icon) to begin data collection.
- Stop Collection: Gwasgwch y Stopio button (often a square icon) to end data collection.
4.3 Data Analysis and Review
The GLX allows for basic on-device data analysis:
- Graff View: Display collected data as a graph. Use navigation buttons to zoom or pan.
- Ystadegau: Access statistical tools (mean, min, max, standard deviation) for selected data ranges.
- Linear Curve Fits: Perform basic linear regression on graphical data.
- Anodiad: Add text notes or recorded voice messages to data points or entire runs.
4.4 Cysylltu â Chyfrifiadur
For advanced analysis and data management, connect the GLX to a computer:
- Ensure PASCO Capstone software is installed on your computer.
- Connect the GLX to your computer using a USB cable.
- The GLX will be recognized as a device within Capstone, allowing data transfer and real-time monitoring.
5. cynnal
5.1 Glanhau
To maintain the device's condition:
- Sychwch y tu allan i'r uned gyda meddal, damp brethyn.
- Peidiwch â defnyddio glanhawyr neu doddyddion sgraffiniol.
- Ensure no liquid enters the sensor ports or USB ports.
5.2 Gofal Batri
- Recharge the NiMH battery regularly to maintain its lifespan.
- Osgowch ollwng y batri'n llwyr yn aml.
