Internal Sensors
LabQuest also has several built-in sensors, including
GPS, microphone, three-axis accelerometer,
temperature sensor, and relative light sensor.
To enable internal sensors within LabQuest App,
choose Sensor Setup from the Sensors menu. Within
the Sensor Setup dialog box, select a check box to
enable the associated sensor. Then tap OK to return to
the LabQuest App Meter screen.
For additional information on internal sensors, enable
the sensor and then choose Sensor Information from
the Sensors menu. Choose the desired sensor from the
list of enabled internal sensors.
GPS
– The internal GPS collects latitude, longitude,
and altitude readings, and may be used with other
sensors. You can choose units of decimal degrees,
degree minutes, or UTM.
TIP!
It may take up to 15 minutes to acquire an
initial signal outdoors. We do not recommend using
GPS indoors.
Accelerometers
– The 3-axis accelerometer measures accelerations up to
2
g
in the x-, y-,
and z-axis directions. The sensor is located 72 mm from the docking connector and 32 mm
from the digital port side of the plastic case.
