\nVernier Data Share is a web app that supports connecting to LabQuest 2 with mobile devices such as iOS devices, Android phones and tablets, Chromebooks, and laptops. Vernier Data Share is part of the Connected Science System and allows students to view, analyze, and annotate data collected with LabQuest 2. The Data Share version 1.1 update includes:
\n\u2022 Better feedback for offline mode
\n\u2022 Ability to print graphs
\n\u2022 Ability to export data to a CSV file or web page table
\n\u2022 Redesigned info boxes for Statistics and Curve Fits:
\n o Improved display and layout
\n o Boxes are now moveable for better visibility
\n\u2022 Improved performance with some data-collection scenarios
\n\u2022 Improved performance in Table view
\n\u2022 General stability and performance improvements<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 Fixed a security issue that exposed the e-mail configuration password.
\n\u2022 Fixed battery calibration for improved battery performance.
\n\u2022 Fixed issue that prevented automatic backup file from being saved when battery level is too low to continue powering the LabQuest.
\n\u2022 Added support for manual entry of a printer\u2019s IP address.
\n\u2022 Added Pulse Width Modulation support in the DAQ firmware for use with engineering education applications when used with Vernier Logger Pro<\/i> software.
\n\u2022 Provided a mechanism to reset factory defaults via an update.
\n\u2022 Improved update mechanism (vs. original LabQuest) to support automatic application of an update with minimal interaction.
\n\u2022 Internal microphone now samples on all supported rates.
\n\u2022 Improved messages displayed when there is a conflict between applications trying to use the internal microphone.
\n\u2022 Added Periodic Table information updates.<\/p>\n
\nRemembering Wi-Fi Connection Credentials<\/i><\/b>
\nThe 1-hour and 1-day settings for how long credentials are remembered (WPA Wi-Fi networks) is not working as expected. When LabQuest is connected to the network beyond the specified time-out period, the connection will persist. Disconnecting after the timeout period will require the user to reenter valid credentials as expected. To disconnect from the network and ensure the credentials are removed, do the following: Tap Home, then tap Connections, and then tap Network. Tap the Wi-Fi Radio Enabled check box to disable your Wi-Fi connection. <\/p>\n
\nManual column data with decimal precision higher then the column display precision will lose the higher decimal precision when the file is saved or exported. For example, if you enter the number 0.01534 and have the Column Options Display Precision set to the default two decimal places, the table will show 0.02. When the file is saved, the value will be truncated (not rounded) to 0.01, matching the display precision of the column. The data is not recoverable and must be reentered. To retain all desired decimal values, set the column display precision to match the desired precision you want to retain.<\/p>\n
\nAfter a system reboot, networks with a hidden SSID are not automatically reconnected. It will be necessary to manually reconnect to the network.<\/p>\n
