Vernier Go Wireless

The Vernier Go Wireless app allows users to conduct experiments using Go Wireless Temp, a wireless temperature probe. Users collect temperature data that is displayed in a graph and can calculate basic statistics on a region of data. Additionally, users can export the data as a CSV file for use in other applications for even more analysis.

HARDWARE REQUIRED - Vernier Go Wireless Temp is required to make use of this application. Visit http://www.vernier.com/gw-temp for more information.
