Various useful things to know about using LoggerPro


 * **Plotting derivatives** ||
 * To take the derivative of the data (the same directions can be used for other functions:

1) click on Data pull-down menu, click on New Column, then Formula.

2) In the dialog box give the column a name (you can give it both a long and short name as well as chose a color for the numbers to highlight the data).

3) Click on the Definition tab, this will take you to the dialog box where you will set up the data manipulation.

4) There are three data entry windows at the bottom of the dialog box (below the graph). In the Functions window, click on the down arrow, click on the Calculus option, and highlight the derivative function. The function should then appear in the Equation window.

5) In the Variables window, click on the down arrow and choose which variable you would like to take the derivative of by highlighting it. highlight the variable that you would like to take the derivative of. The name of the variable (the column name) should appear in the Equation window between the parentheses.

6) To plot the derivative in a separate graph click on the new derivative column in your data and click 'insert' and choose 'graph'.
