File Menu
A LabQuest App file can contain data-collection settings, graphs, data tables, analyses, and even
notes. These files have a .qmbl extension and can be saved to the internal storage space on
LabQuest or to an external storage space such as a USB flash drive or microSD card.
LabQuest App files can also be opened and manipulated on a computer with Logger Pro
software.
All five tabs within LabQuest App share the same File
menu, which is similar to the File menu on a computer.
From the File menu, you can perform a number of tasks
related to LabQuest App files, such as opening, saving,
and closing files, adjusting file settings, printing, and
more. These are described in more detail as follows.
