Yes. However, this will cause your TI-Nspire calculator battery to drain faster.<\/strong>
Extending the time for a calculator to APD is useful when collecting data using Go Direct Sensors. Bluetooth sensor connections and user-defined data collection parameters will reset when the calculator powers down. To keep this from happening, you will want to extend the time before APD occurs.<\/p>\n
