How do I open a LabQuest qmbl file on a computer?

When you save a file from LabQuest, the file name will end in .qmbl. LabQuest can open .qmbl files to display the experiment results. These files can be moved to a computer using a USB stick or SD card.

To open the qmbl file on a computer, you will need to use either Logger Lite or Logger Pro. In Logger Pro 3.8 or newer, you can simply double-click the qmbl file and Logger Pro will open it.

If you only have Logger Lite 1.4 installed, you will need to edit the file name so that it ends with .gmbl. This tells the computer to open the file with Logger Lite. You will need to change settings on your computer if the .qmbl extension is not visible.

Later versions of Logger Lite will open qmbl files directly.

Note that you can also open qmbl files on the LabQuest in Logger Pro or Logger Lite by connecting the LabQuest to the computer and choosing LabQuest Browser-->Open from the File menu.
