Digital Meters
A digital meter for each connected sensor is shown on
this screen. Tap on a meter to change sensor settings.
The available options will depend on the sensor and
may include options to set up channels, change units,
calibrate, zero, and reverse the sensor. Most of these
options can also be accessed from the Sensors menu.
Analog Meters
To display an analog meter, choose Meter Setup from
the Sensors menu, or as a shortcut, tap the digital meter
on the Meter screen.
TIP! The Vernier Energy Sensor and Go Direct Energy
sensor use analog sensors by default. All other sensors
use digital sensors.
Within the Meter Setup dialog box, select the meter
type. For analog meters (bar or pointer), enter the
minimum and maximum values for the meter range;
you can also hide the digital display value if desired.
Data-Collection Summary
A summary of the data-collection settings (Mode, Rate,
and Duration) is shown in the panel to the right of the
Meter screen. For most sensors, the default data-
collection mode is Time Based. The default collection
rate for the connected sensor is automatically set up
when LabQuest identifies the sensor. To modify the
data-collection settings, tap the summary box.
Alternatively, you can choose Data Collection from the
Sensors menu. For detailed descriptions of data-
collection modes and parameters, see Data-Collection
Settings.
Data-Collection Controls
To start data collection from any LabQuest App screen, tap Collect . During data
collection, tap Stop to end data collection early. In selected data-collection modes (for
example, Events with Entry), a Keep button will appear to the right of the Stop button. In
this mode, you must tap
to record the data point in the data table. For more information,
