Viewing Data Collection Status

The Lab Cradle has an LED light located on the top to indicate data collection status. This light will be red, green, or amber and use a variety of blink patterns.

Data collection activity status

Red

Red indicates that you need to wait until the system is ready.
Slow blink: The Lab Cradle is updating experiment storage space. This is automatic behavior and does not impact active collections.
Fast blink: Indicates one or more attached sensors are not warmed up. (You may still collect data during the warm-up period but you risk the data being less precise.)

Amber

Amber indicates the system is ready but the collection has not yet started.
One blink per second: The sensor is configured and set up for sampling.
Slow blink: The Lab Cradle is connected to a computer or handheld running TI-Nspire™ software but not set up for sampling.
Fast blink: The Lab Cradle is ready for data collection when you press the trigger.

Green

Green indicates the system is actively collecting data.
Slow blink: Actively collecting data.

Note: There may be a slight variation in the duration of the blink depending on the mode/rate of collection.

Fast blink: Pre-storing data prior to a trigger.

Alternating Amber and Green

The blinking pattern indicates the system is in trigger mode but has not yet reached the trigger event.
