Transferring Data from LabQuest to Logger Pro 3 or Logger Lite
Automatically Transferring Data
If you collect data in LabQuest App and subsequently connect LabQuest to a computer, then
Logger Lite or Logger Pro 3 will automatically detect the presence of the remote data and
display a message indicating the data can be retrieved from LabQuest. Follow the onscreen
instructions to download data to the computer.
Manually Transferring Data
To manually transfer saved data from LabQuest (see Storing LabQuest App Files), open Logger
Lite or Logger Pro 3 on your computer, choose LabQuest Browser from the File menu, and then
choose Open. Choose the desired LabQuest file from the displayed list and click Open. Note that
only one LabQuest file can be opened at a time. Once opened on the computer, you may then
choose to save the file as a Logger Lite (.gmbl) or Logger Pro 3 (.cmbl) file by choosing Save As
from the computer software File menu.
TIP! If sensors are still connected when a LabQuest file is opened using Logger Pro 3 or
Logger Lite, the sensors will be ignored. To enable the sensors, choose New from the File menu
in Logger Lite or Logger Pro 3.
