Yes, you can import data from individual LabQuest App files into a single Logger Pro<\/i> file. Here are some ways to do that.<\/p>\n

Option 1\u2014from files already transferred to the computer<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Transfer the desired LabQuest App (QMBL) files to a single computer that has Logger Pro<\/i> installed. See, How do I move data from a LabQuest to a computer or other device for further analysis?<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Launch Logger Pro<\/i>.<\/li>\n
  3. From the File menu, select Import From \u25b6 Logger Pro<\/i> File…<\/li>\n
  4. Navigate to the desired file, then choose Open. Data from the LabQuest file will be imported into the Logger Pro<\/i> file in a new data set.<\/li>\n
  5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for all of the LabQuest App files you want to import.<\/li>\n
  6. Save the Logger Pro<\/i> file. (Note:<\/strong> you can save the file as a LabQuest file by selecting Save As from the file menu, the changing the Save As type to LabQuest Files (qmbl) before saving the file.) <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    <\/div>\n

    Option 2\u2014from files saved on the LabQuest<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Verify the desired file you want to import is saved on the LabQuest.<\/li>\n
    2. Launch Logger Pro<\/i>.<\/li>\n
    3. Connect LabQuest to the computer via the USB cable.<\/li>\n
    4. From the Logger Pro<\/i> File menu, choose LabQuest Browser \u25b6 Import…<\/li>\n
    5. Select the file, then click Import. Data from the LabQuest file will be imported into the Logger Pro<\/i> file in a new data set.<\/li>\n
    6. Repeat Steps 3 \u2013 5 for all of the LabQuest devices that have saved files you wish to import.<\/li>\n
    7. Save the Logger Pro<\/i> file. (Note:<\/strong> you can save the file as a LabQuest file by selecting Save As from the file menu, the changing the Save As type to LabQuest Files (qmbl) before saving the file.) <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      <\/div>\n

      Option 3\u2014from the active file on a LabQuest<\/h3>\n
        \n
      1. Verify the desired data you want to import is showing in the LabQuest App data table.<\/li>\n
      2. Launch Logger Pro<\/i>.<\/li>\n
      3. Connect LabQuest to the computer via the USB cable. The Remote Data Available dialog will appear.<\/li>\n
      4. Choose Yes to retrieve the data now.<\/li>\n
      5. Choose the option to Import remote data into the current session, then click OK. Data from the LabQuest file will be imported into the Logger Pro<\/i> file in a new data set.<\/li>\n
      6. Repeat Steps 3 \u2013 5 for all of the LabQuest devices that have data you wish to import.<\/li>\n
      7. Save the Logger Pro<\/i> file. (Note:<\/strong> you can save the file as a LabQuest file by selecting Save As from the file menu, the changing the Save As type to LabQuest Files (qmbl) before saving the file.) <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        <\/div>\n

        Analyzing the data<\/h3>\n

        You can graph the imported data as individual runs and do statistics on individual runs. If the intent is to combine data to analyze a class set of data, here are a few options for doing that.<\/p>\n
