Data Collection and Analysis Techniques

The video tutorial demonstrates how to manually collect data using PASCO Capstone. It covers setting up a workbook to plot magnetic field strength versus current, creating a table for data entry, configuring hardware, and collecting data in keep mode. The process includes entering and saving data points, ensuring they are ready for further manipulation within Capstone.
