Using LabQuest Sensors with Android

Get Graphical Analysis

Graphical Analysis is our free application to collect, graph, and analyze data from LabQuest sensors. If you don't have Graphical Analysis installed, please download and install it first.

Connect Your Sensor Using Wi-Fi and LabQuest 3

Data Sharing lets you stream data collected on a LabQuest 3 (or LabQuest 2) to Android devices that are running Graphical Analysis. Your LabQuest must be on the same Wi-Fi network as your Android devices.

1. Ensure your LabQuest is charged or connected to AC power.
2. Turn on LabQuest and choose New from the File menu.
3. Connect the sensor to your LabQuest.
4. Enable Data Sharing on LabQuest.
5. Launch Graphical Analysis on your Android device.
6. Click or tap 
7. Choose your LabQuest from the list of discovered Data Sharing sources.
   • If your version of Graphical Analysis has the Pro features unlocked, select the Local data sharing option to see the list of devices.
   • If your LabQuest does not show up in the list, click or tap  and enter the IP address of the LabQuest.
8. Graphical Analysis will connect to LabQuest.

You are ready to continue your experiment. When you begin data collection on LabQuest, the data will appear on your Android device.
