Interfaces are used to connect sensors to a device (ex: computer, Chromebook\u2122, mobile, tablet.)<\/p>\n

In the case of Original LabQuest\u00ae, LabQuest 2 or LabQuest 3 they can be used as a standalone device or be used to interface with another device.<\/p>\n

This is a very versatile way to use any Vernier sensor without the need for a separate device. <\/p>\n

It can though, connect by USB to may devices. It can also to broadcast data to multiple devices via Wifi.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

This is a very versatile way to use any Vernier sensor without the need for a separate device. <\/p>\n

It can though, connect by USB to may devices. It can also to broadcast data to multiple devices via Wifi. It can be used with a power cable if the battery is not functional anymore. You can still get replacement batteries LabQuest® 2, LabQuest Stream\u2122, and Go Direct SpectroVis Plus Battery<\/a> (LQ2-BAT<\/nobr>).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Go!Link\u00ae<\/sup><\/td>\n		Yes<\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • Computer<\/li>\n
  • Chromebook<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
This is the most cost-effective interface for connecting BTA sensors. Not compatible with microphones, photogates, and many physics sensors. See full list of compatible sensors at: What sensors do not work with Go!Link?<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"
LabQuest Mini<\/td>\n		Yes<\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • Computer<\/li>\n
  • Chromebook<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
LabQuest Mini lets you connect any BTA or BTD sensor via USB.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"2871-lq-stream.jpg\" LabQuest Stream<\/td>\nYes<\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • Computer<\/li>\n
  • Chromebook<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
LabQuest Stream\u00ae<\/sup> lets you connect any BTA or BTD sensor via USB. Note that LabQuest Stream was discontinued in 2023 due to a critical component becoming unavailable. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"2871-labpro.jpg\"
LabPro<\/td>\n		No<\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • Computer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
Unfortunately, The LabPro\u00ae<\/sup> cannot work with Graphical Analysis<\/a>. LabPro does still work on Windows and Macintosh computers with Logger Pro<\/i>™<\/sup> 3<\/a> (LP<\/nobr>). Logger Pro<\/em> is no longer under development and will not receive further updates.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    \n
  • Mobile device<\/li>\n
  • Tablet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
The Go Wireless\u00ae<\/sup> Link (GW-LINK, discontinued<\/em>) is not compatible with Graphical Analysis<\/a>. It is only compatible with Graphical Analysis GW on iOS and Android. What is the difference between Graphical Analysis app (Graphical) and Graphical Analysis GW (GraphicalGW)?<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Others<\/td>\n No<\/td>\n\n
    \n
  • Computer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
We made several other interfaces over the years, including ULIs, Serial Boxes, MPLIs and more. Older interfaces (not pictured here) are not compatible with Graphical Analysis<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n
