To save a LabQuest App file,
1. If saving to a microSD card or USB flash drive, make sure the drive is inserted in the
appropriate port on LabQuest. Note: After inserting the drive, wait a few seconds while
LabQuest recognizes the drive before proceeding.
2. Choose Save from the File menu. This opens a Save As dialog box.
3. Tap on the appropriate icon to select your storage destination.
- LabQuest internal hard drive
- microSD card
- USB flash drive
4. After selecting your destination, tap on the name field and enter the file name.
5. Tap OK to return to the Save As screen.
6. Tap Save to save the file.
Note: You cannot create directories within LabQuest App, but you can use directories that
already exist on the SD card or USB drive. We recommend organizing your files on a USB drive
or SD card by creating any needed folders on a computer before you use the drive or card with
LabQuest.
Exporting LabQuest App files
In some cases, you may wish to export the LabQuest App file in a text format (.txt) for further
analysis within a program other than Logger Pro.
To do this, choose Export from the File menu. Follow steps similar to those described in
, but choose Export from the File menu instead of Save As.
To open the exported .txt file in a spreadsheet program, confirm the program’s file browser is set
to look for all file types. Select your text file.
If you have access to a wireless network with Internet, you can email the data file, graph, text
file, or screenshot. For detailed instructions, see
