Use LabQuest with a Computer

Software Requirements
Your LabQuest comes with computer software. Use either Logger Lite 1.4 (or newer) or
Logger Pro 3.6 (or newer) with LabQuest. If you already own Logger Pro 3, updates to
Logger Pro are available for free download at www.vernier.com/tech/lpupdates.html

A compatible version of computer software is included with your LabQuest. Install the
software from the included CD if you do not have compatible software already installed.

Connect the LabQuest to your computer using the included USB cable. The mini end
connects to LabQuest, and the full-size end connects to an available USB port on your
computer.

The LabQuest can be used with a computer in two ways. Data can be collected directly to
Logger Pro or Logger Lite, or you can retrieve previously collected data from the LabQuest
to either program.

Collect Data with LabQuest Directly to Logger Lite or Logger Pro

Automatically Transfer Data from LabQuest to the Computer

Logger Lite or Logger Pro will automatically detect the presence of the remote data and offer
to retrieve it.
