Storing LabQuest App Files
LabQuest 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 flash drive. LabQuest App
files can also be opened and manipulated
on a computer with Vernier Logger Pro
software.
LabQuest can recognize additional
storage space in a connected microSD
(Secure Digital) card or a USB flash
drive. The drive or card may be formatted
in FAT16 or FAT32 (the most common
Windows and Mac OS formats) for
reading and writing. LabQuest cannot
read NTFS or HFS+ formatted drives.
