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.

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.

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.
