VI. USING LABQUEST 3 AS A DATA SHARING SOURCE
LabQuest 3 can serve as a Data Sharing source that can wirelessly stream sensor data to Vernier
Graphical Analysis™ or Vernier Graphical Analysis™ Pro apps running on computers,
Chromebook™ notebooks, or mobile devices such as iOS, iPadOS
®
, and Android™ tablets and
smartphones.
How Data Sharing Works
Set up an experiment with Vernier sensors and LabQuest 3.
Use Graphical Analysis app to wirelessly connect to the LabQuest 3 unit using Wi-Fi. Both
devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network; however, the Wi-Fi network does not require
internet connectivity.
Data collected on LabQuest 3 are shared with the connected devices. The data can be
streamed live during data collection or transferred in full after data collection is complete.
Each recipient of the data can perform an individual analysis of the shared data on their
device. Data analysis done on LabQuest 3 or any connected device is not shared with the
other devices.
