Collect Data with LabQuest
Here’s how to quickly collect some data with your new LabQuest.
1. Wake up your LabQuest by pressing the silver
power button on the upper left corner. If your
LabQuest does not wake, your battery may be
discharged. Connect the LabQuest to its power
adapter, and continue.
2. Connect an analog sensor (auto-ID capable) to
one of the ports on the top edge of LabQuest.
Something simple like a temperature, light or
force sensor is best. LabQuest will set itself for
data collection with that sensor. Note the live
readout on the Meter screen.
3. Press the Collect button just below the
LabQuest screen. Data collection will begin, and
a graph will show your data being plotted in real
time.
Charge your LabQuest overnight for a full battery
charge.
