Using LabQuest with a Computer

LabQuest, or optionally a USB drive or SD card, as the location. This way you can save as many 
experiments as you like. Later, you can either use LabQuest Browser in Logger Pro or 
Logger Lite to open the files, or connect the USB drive or SD card to your computer and open 
the files directly in Logger Pro or Logger Lite. 
On the computer, choose Open from the LabQuest Browser, which is found in the File menu. 
Select the desired file from the LabQuest, and open it. Your LabQuest file will be opened on the 
computer, including any data, notes, and data collection configuration. Only one file can be 
opened at a time. You may choose to subsequently save the data as a Logger Pro or Logger Lite 
file. 
Tip: If sensors are still connected when a LabQuest file is opened in Logger Pro or Logger Lite, 
the sensors will be ignored. To enable the sensors, choose New from the File menu in the 
computer application. 
Another option is to Import data from the LabQuest. Import differs from Open in that only the 
data in the LabQuest file are added to the current computer session. This allows you to compile 
data from multiple LabQuest sessions into a single computer session for graphing and 
comparison. 
Tip: Compile class results from multiple LabQuest files (or multiple LabQuests) by repeatedly 
importing data into a single Logger Pro or Logger Lite file.  
 
Manually Moving Data from Computer to LabQuest 
Data and/or sensor configurations can be saved to the LabQuest from your computer. Open a 
computer file, or set up the computer for the data collection details you desire. Choose Save As 
from the LabQuest Browser (found in the File menu), and enter a descriptive file name. Any 
data, and the sensor configuration, will be stored on the LabQuest as a LabQuest file. Any 
features in the computer file not existing on LabQuest (such as embedded images, video analysis, 
graph annotations, or most calculated columns) will be ignored on LabQuest.  
 
Deleting Data on LabQuest 
The LabQuest Browser includes a Delete function. Choose Delete from the LabQuest Browser, 
and select the file you want to remove from LabQuest. 
Tip: Use the LabQuest Browser to mass delete files from LabQuest. Click to select multiple files, 
and click Delete. This is the only way to delete more than one file at a time.
