Let's take a look at what you have.
If the device has a white connection port on the side, it’s an interface.
An interface serves as a liaison between your Vernier sensor and a computer, Chromebook™, mobile device, or calculator. Some interfaces allow users to view and analyze data directly as a standalone device.
If it has a screen, it’s a LabQuest.
The newest model, LabQuest 3, has a large screen and a rectangular, black body. The LabQuest 2 is slightly smaller with a gray body and curved sides. These interfaces collect data as a standalone device or share data wirelessly with multiple computers, Chromebooks, and mobile devices simultaneously.
Yours might need an app update.
If it doesn’t have a screen, it’s a simple interface.
No screen? No problem. Connect any LabQuest sensor (a sensor with an attached cable) into the port on the interface, then connect the interface into your computer, Chromebook, or calculator.
These interfaces have some differences in their features.
If the device does not have a white connection port on the side, it’s a sensor.
Sensors collect real-time data that can be sent to software to create tables or graphs. Data can be shared via Bluetooth® wireless connection or a cable connection.
If the sensor has an attached cable, it’s likely a LabQuest Sensor.
LabQuest sensors have a fixed cable attached and need to connect to an interface in order to collect data. These wired sensors have been trusted by educators for over 20 years and are still in production today.
