Designed in partnership with National Instruments (NI), it was a unique Vernier interface in that it had BTA\/BTD ports for LabQuest sensors, an output terminal, and was compatible with NI&#8217;s LabVIEW programming software.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you just need an interface to connect Vernier LabQuest sensors to your LabVIEW program, the <a href=\"\/product\/labquest-mini\/\">LabQuest Mini<\/a> (<nobr>LQ-MINI<\/nobr>) is a good alternative. You can find drivers, Express VIs, and example VIs for the LabQuest Mini here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/downloads\/labview-virtual-instrument-downloads\/labquest-interfaces\/\">https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/downloads\/labview-virtual-instrument-downloads\/labquest-interfaces\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you need output lines, you should consider adding a <a href=\"\/product\/digital-control-unit\/\">Digital Control Unit<\/a> (<nobr>DCU-BTD<\/nobr>) to the LabQuest Mini. The DCU has six output lines and can provide up to 1 A of current. As with the LabQuest Mini, the DCU is supported in LabVIEW; the LabQuest package for LabVIEW linked above includes examples and VIs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have further questions about alternatives to the SensorDAQ, please email us at engineering@vernier.com.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The was discontinued in spring 2021.
