To Upload LabQuest Data to the Computer

Hi Folks,
I emailed Vernier to answer the question of how we might get the data stored in LabQuest into the computer. Here is what you have to do:

1) Once data is collected with the LabQuest in standalone mode, the only way to get the data into the computer is through LoggerPro not through the emulator. There are two ways to get the data into Logger Pro, and the method depends upon whether the data is "live" or stored in a file.

2) "Live" means that you can see the graph of the data on the screen from within the LabQuest App. If the data is live, when you attach the LabQuest to the computer and start Logger Pro, Logger Pro will throw a message stating that remote data has been detected and it will ask you if you want to retrieve.

3) If there is no "live" data, but instead the data has been stored in a file, connect the LabQuest to the computer and start Logger Pro. Then in Logger Pro, pull down the File menu and choose LabQuest Browser. Then choose Open. A list of saved files will appear on the screen. Choose the appropriate file.
Be sure you have the latest version of LoggerPro -- 3.6.1
Good luck!
