LabQuest Sensor Setup

LabQuest is a multi-channel interface that connects to a computer's USB port.

Follow these procedures to quickly collect data with LabQuest and Logger Pro:

  1. Connect power to LabQuest.
  2. Connect the LabQuest to the USB port on your computer running Logger Pro.
  3. Connect a sensor to LabQuest.
  4. If auto-ID sensors are found, live readings will be displayed on the screen. If a LabQuest is found but your sensors are not identified, you should manually set up a sensor or open an appropriate experiment file.

To start collecting data, click the Collect button . You can stop at any time by clicking the Stop button .

The data will be displayed in the data table and the graph.

Once you have collected your data, you can analyze it, add pictures or movies to your experiment, and perform several other tasks. Take a look at the How To section for a list of the various options available in Logger Pro.

LabQuest Options

You can open the LabQuest Sensor Setup dialog by clicking the LabQuest icon in the toolbar.

A window showing your sensor setup, the units, and current readings (if Live Readouts in the Column Options dialog is checked) will appear. Here you can manually make changes to your sensor setup.

By clicking a channel with a displayed sensor, you can change the settings for the analog and digital sensors that can be connected to LabQuest.

You can also set up LabQuest's internal temperature sensor. Select the Internal Temperature sensor and click Configure to calibrate, obtain sensor info, or change units on the internal Temperature sensor.
