Troubleshooting
Primary Test: Make sure that the sensor detects sunlight. A bright sunny day should approach a thousand Watts/square meter in irradiance.
Secondary Test: ...
There is no exact conversion factor.
The problem is that lux and W/cm2 are not simply different units, rather they are units for different measurements.
mW/cm2 is a unit for irradiance (energy falling on a surface) and lux is a photometric uni...
This is likely the result of the LabQuest desktop software not functioning as expected. To verify this, close all applications and quit the LabQuest Application (File > Quit). If the LabQuest shows a blue screen with Vernier on the side, the desktop ...
LabQuest platforms include an internal speaker and the Audio Function Generator app. The speaker can be used to hear a waveform produced using the Audio Function Generator, but due to the small size of the speaker, harmonic distortion is significant...
In September 2012, we updated the Conductivity probe with a new calibration on each switch setting to optimize it for small improvements in the hardware.
Pre-Sept 2012 Calibration values:
Low Setting = 65.7 uS/cm
Middle Setting = 847.2 uS/cm
...
The LabQuest internal temperature sensor measures temperature inside the LabQuest case. Its calibration is adjusted to approximate ambient temperature, but can deviate depending on the battery charge state and freshly powered warm-up time.
The ...
