Hardware Keys on LabQuest
The front panel of LabQuest contains keys that allow you to perform many tasks without a stylus. The Collect
button duplicates the on-screen collect button. The remaining buttons are:
Escape. Dismisses a menu or
dialog and takes no action.
Screens. Cycles through the
screens of LabQuest App, or fields
of dialog boxes.
Menu. Pulls down the first menu
available; to see additional
menus use the right arrow key.
Home. Displays the
Home menu.
OK. Executes the
selected action.
Cursor keys. Use these
arrow keys to move through
a menu or between menus, or
to move the Examine cursor.
Printing from LabQuest
Power Button Behavior
LabQuest prints to many Hewlett-Packard printers.
See www.vernier.com/labqprinters for an up-to-date list of compatible models.
Connect a compatible printer to the full-size USB port on LabQuest, and turn on
the printer. The Print menu item is located in the File menu. From Print, you can
choose to print just the graph, the data table, your own notes, the lab
instructions, or the screen as it is currently displayed.
If you have unsaved data when you press the LabQuest power button, LabQuest App will prompt you to either
save or discard the data before turning off. Or, if you press and hold the power button for more than five seconds,
LabQuest will turn off, discarding any unsaved data.
LabQuest ignores the power button during data collection. If you want to turn LabQuest off, stop collection first.
LabQuest protects your data in low-battery situations. Shortly before the battery lacks sufficient charge to power
LabQuest, LabQuest App will end data collection if in progress, and save data to a temporary file. Later, when
LabQuest is recharged and LabQuest App restarts, you’ll be prompted to either open or discard the temporary file.
When LabQuest turns on, LabQuest App will be running, cleared of any previous data or sensor setup.
