Adding a mathematical model Labeling your graph Additional Column and Graph Options

Adding a title Labeling your axis and data sets

Click here to begin

First determine a mathematical model using graphical analysis/logger pro

Swap your x and y variables in the math equation for their physics variables based on how you graphed your data.

Adding titles to your graph

Right click on your graph and choose Graph Options

Adding titles to your graph Select the graph options tab

Adding titles to your graph In the title box, type your graph title. Then select done to close the box

Adding a mathematical Model

First add a title and label your graph. See other tutorials for instructions

Adding a mathematical Model

Then select the analyze menu

Adding a mathematical Model Choose curve fit

Adding a mathematical Model Then check the graph type using your final packet page as a reference

Adding a mathematical Model Then check the graph type using your final packet page as a reference

Adding a mathematical Model This graph looks quadratic so select the quadratic option

Adding a mathematical Model

Then Select Try Fit

Adding a mathematical Model If the projected black line is a good fit, select done. Otherwise choose another graph option until you get a good fit.

Adding a mathematical Model

The pop-up box contains your math fit.

Adding a mathematical Model The pop-up box contains your math fit. This line contains the math equation Each of these represent a number term in the equation. So in the above equation the A is 1 The B is 0 And the C is 5 Note the scientific notation in the B term. It has E-015 next to the number. This means 3.37 x so it is an extremely small number so we can assume it is zero.

Additional Graph and Column Options

Graphical Analysis is a powerful graphing program with many advanced features besides just creating simple graphs and finding mathematical relationships. This tutorial will show you how to use some of the more advanced Graph and Columns options present in graphical Analysis. These features include: 1. How to add additional Columns that have values based on an equation 2. How to auto Fill a Column with generated values 3. How to control what is being graphed on a graph axis when I have more then 2 Columns in my data table. 4. How to add additional graphs 5. How to auto arrange my graphs so they have a clear layout.

Additional Graph and Column Options To use Graphical Analysis to create a calculated Column select the Data Tab

Additional Graph and Column Options Then Choose New Calculated Column

Additional Graph and Column Options This will bring up a box similar to the Column Option box

Additional Graph and Column Options Fill in your Name, Short Name, and Units just like before

Additional Graph and Column Options Type your equation in the equation box

Additional Graph and Column Options To add variables from other columns, select the variables(columns) button

Additional Graph and Column Options When finished select done

Additional Graph and Column Options Observe your new calculated column

Additional Graph and Column Options To generate values to fill a column, you again select the column options menu

Additional Graph and Column Options On the right hand side of the menu is a check box to generate values

Additional Graph and Column Options Select the check box, then set up what values you want to add

Additional Graph and Column Options Select done when finished

Additional Graph and Column Options Observe that the X column now has generated values

Additional Graph and Column Options To change what columns are being graphed, left click on the axes label

Additional Graph and Column Options Then select the column that you want to appear on that axis

Additional Graph and Column Options In this case I have plotted my calculated column versus my auto filled column

Additional Graph and Column Options To add another graph, select the insert tab, then choose graph

Additional Graph and Column Options

To auto arrange your graphs, select the page tab and then select Auto Arrange

Additional Graph and Column Options From here you can change what is plotted on the different graphs axis based on what you are graphing and working with.
