Choose Save As… from the LabQuest Browser (found in the File menu), and enter a
descriptive file name. Any data, and the sensor configuration, will be stored on the LabQuest
as a LabQuest file. Any features in the computer file not existing on LabQuest (such as
embedded images, video analysis, graph annotations or most calculated columns) will be
ignored on LabQuest.
Delete Data on LabQuest
The LabQuest Browser includes a Delete function. Choose Delete from the LabQuest
Browser, and select the file you want to remove from LabQuest.
Tip: Use the LabQuest Browser to mass delete files from LabQuest. Click to select multiple
files, and click Delete. This is the only way to delete more than one file at a time.
Remote Setup of LabQuest from Logger Pro
Logger Pro allows you to configure LabQuest for data collection from the computer. Set up
Logger Pro as desired for your sensors, data collection rate and duration. Choose
RemoteSetupLabQuest from the Experiment menu. Disconnect the LabQuest when
prompted. Collect data on LabQuest using its screen and keys. Notes: This feature is not
available in Logger Lite, and is equivalent to setting up LabQuest using LabQuest App
controls.
Additional LabQuest App Features
This section reviews the features and functions of the LabQuest App in detail. First the
overall LabQuest screen, and then the four tabs and their special contents, are described.
The LabQuest App Screen
There are four tabs across the top of the LabQuest
screen: the Meter, Graph, Table, and Notes tabs. Tap a
tab to display its screen. Across the bottom of the
screen are icons for Collect, Home, Calculator,
Keyboard, Sounds, Battery, and the current time. The
Battery icon is not shown on the LabQuest Emulator,
used to make these screen images. The bottom-row
icons are always visible, but the tabs are only present when LabQuest App is active.
All four tabs share the same File menu, used to open
existing files, save data into a file, print, and perform
other tasks.
File Menu
The File menu is similar to the File menu on a
computer. Here you can save and open files, print,
change settings, and quit the application. LabQuest App
can read and write files to LabQuest memory, a sort of
virtual hard disk. Files contain experimental setup, data,
analysis, and notes. Files allow you to retain a collection of past work, either for later referral
