EV3 SOFTWARE
Without a program, a robot is just a statue. It may be a cool statue,
but it’s still a statue. When you program a robot you give it abilities—
to move, to follow lines, to avoid objects, to make mathematical
calculations, and much more. The EV3 Software has an intuitive,
graphics-based format that users from 10 to 100 years of age can
quickly learn and successfully use.
The EV3 Programming environment consists of
the following main areas:
 Programming Canvas—Lay out your program here.
 Programming Palettes—Find the building blocks for your
program here.
 Hardware Page—Establish and manage your communication
with the EV3 Brick here and see what motors and sensors are

Data Logging
To data log is to collect information for analysis. For example,
aweatherperson might collect temperature readings throughout
theday, and then analyze it for a report on the evening news. Or
azookeeper might collect data on where visitors are spending their
time at the zoo. The EV3 Software cannot only record data, it can
help you to organize and analyze it.
The EV3 Data Logging environment consists of
the following main areas:
 Graph Area—This is where you see and analyze your data
plots.
 Configuration Panel—Here you set up your experiment,
manage your dataset, and get access to Dataset Calculation
and Graph Programming, special data logging functionalities.
 Hardware Page—Establish and manage your communication
with the EV3 Brick here and see what sensors are connected
where. This is also where you download experiments to the EV3
Brick and upload data to the software.
 Content Editor—A digital workbook integrated into
thesoftware. Get instructions or document your project using
text, images, and videos.
 Data Logging Toolbar—Find basic tools for working with your
graph and experiment here. Learn more about these tools in

Configuration Panel
In the Configuration Panel, you will find four different tabs that will
help you prepare, manage, and analyze your experiments. Some
of the tabs are dynamic: they will automatically be shown when
relevant. You will always be able to switch between tabs manually.
EXPERIMENT CONFIGURATION
Here you set up your experiment by selecting the sample duration
and rate and choosing what sensors to collect data from. For each
sensor, you also have to select sensor mode, since most sensors
can provide different types of data.
DATASET TABLE
In addition to displaying the collected data in the graph area,
adataset will be shown in the Dataset Table. Here you can also
rename the dataset, delete or hide it, and change plot style and
color of the graphs.
DATASET CALCULATION
Here you can manipulate datasets and graphs by doing various
calculations using numbers, functions, and other datasets.
Theoutput result will be displayed as both graph and dataset values.
GRAPH PROGRAMMING
By dividing your graph area in different zones, you can enable your
sensor input to trigger or activate an output: for example, a motor or
a sound from the EV3 Brick when the sensor values reach a certain
level or threshold.
To learn more about the EV3 data logging environment and see how
you can get started with your first experiment, see the Data Logging
and Data Logging Overview videos in the Quick Start section of

EV3 SOFTWARE
In the top menu bar of the EV3 Software you will find a number of
small Tools that can add extra functionality and support to your EV3
Software experience.
You can learn more about most of the Tools in the EV3 Software Help.
SOUND EDITOR
Create your own sound effects or customize one from our selection
of official EV3 Sound files. The sounds can then be used for
programming your robot by use of the Sound Programming Block.
IMAGE EDITOR
Make creative use of the EV3 Brick Display by designing original
images or customizing existing images. The images can then
be used for programming your robot by the use of the Display
Programming Block.
MY BLOCK BUILDER
Sometimes you make a great miniprogram that you want to use
again in another project or program. My Block Builder helps you take
this miniprogram and create a unique My Block where you define
the name, icon, and parameters that are relevant for you. My Blocks
will automatically be archived in the My Block Programming Palette.
FIRMWARE UPDATE
Periodically, updated firmware will become available for your EV3
Brick. We recommend that you install new versions as they become
available. This tool will tell you if there is a new firmware version
available and help you update it on your EV3 Brick.
WIRELESS SETUP
In case you wish your EV3 Software to communicate with your EV3
Brick using Wi-Fi, this tool will help set up the wireless connection.
To do so, you will need to acquire a Wi-Fi USB dongle for the EV3
Brick and enable Wi-Fi communication on the EV3 Brick.
BLOCK IMPORT
Add new blocks to your Programming Palettes. This can be
new LEGO
®
Programming Blocks or blocks developed by other
manufacturers: for example, in relation to a third-party sensor. These
Blocks first need to be downloaded to your computer—then you can
import them into your EV3 Software using this tool.
MEMORY BROWSER
It is easy to lose track of what you have stored on your EV3 Brick.
The Memory Browser provides an overview of memory use on your
EV3 Brick (including an SD card if you have it inserted). You can use
the Memory Browser to transfer programs, sounds, graphics, and
other files between your EV3 Brick and a computer, and copy and
delete files that are already on your EV3 Brick.

EV3 SOFTWARE
DOWNLOAD AS APP
Advanced users may enjoy the challenge of creating applications
for generic tasks on the EV3 Brick. An EV3 Brick app is made as
anormal EV3 program, but when downloaded to the EV3 Brick
using this tool, it will show up as a new app in the Brick Apps screen,
together with the default apps such as Brick Programming and Port
View.
IMPORT BRICK PROGRAM
This tool will enable you to import a program made in the Brick
Program App on the EV3 Brick to the EV3 Software programming
environment. Your program can then be further refined using the full
functionality of the EV3 Software.
DATA LOG FILE MANAGER
Use this tool to view, manage, and import datasets created by
anexperiment into your EV3 Software. This is used when collecting
data remotely on the EV3 Brick. The Data Log File Manager can
import datasets from the EV3 Brick, an SD card, or your computer.
REMOVE VALUES FROM DATASET
When collecting data from your sensors, you may later wish to
remove certain values from a dataset. This might be done to narrow
the range of sensor values you wish to further analyze or because
your dataset contains sporadically invalid values generated by
a sensor returning a default value when a real value cannot be
measured.
CREATE DATA LOGGING PROGRAM
If you have an experiment that you would like to integrate into
a program, this tool will help you. Rather than collecting data at
the same place all the time, you may wish to program a robot to
collect data from different areas in a room. This tool will transform
your experiment into a Data Logging Programming Block on
theProgramming Canvas. You can now build your program.
EXPORT DATASETS
If you wish to work further with your dataset in another software
tool (for example, Microsoft Excel), you can export any EV3 dataset
to a comma-separated value (CSV) file format and save it on your
computer. The CSV file can then be opened from within the chosen
software. Make sure the software supports theCSV file format.
