Flow+Rate+Monitor

= Steps on using the Flow Rate Sensor =

The directions below will help you use the flow rate monitor.

 * For most of the technical workings of the LabQuest itself I included that into my video so you can watch that and it will explain how the LabQuest itself works.
 * This tool is designed to help you measure stream flow of a river or stream.
 * For further resources you can view the Vernier website listed in the resource page.

Things you will need to use the Flow Rate Monitor

 * Flow Rate Sensor
 * LabQuest
 * The computer compatible cable

Step 1: Assembling the Meter
You need to take the sensor out of the box and connect the plastic pieces so they form a long stick that can help you reach into the water.

=
After you have completed the first two steps it is now time to put the sensor into the stream. This should be done by putting the sensor halfway down into the stream. To get good results you want to stay towards the top portion in order to ensure your testing the fastest part of the water.=====

=
You will then need to push the play button above the ok button; this will make the LabQuest start recording results. You need to let the sensor record for a decent amount of time so that you can have a dependable set of results.=====

Step 5:Analyzing Data
You will then have your results at this point you can view your results in a graph or tabular form both of which I demonstrated how to do with my video.

=
If you want to move your results to a computer you will need the adapter that will connect it to a computer, and then you will need to use a computer with the Logger Lite software downloaded. This will allow you to view and analyze your information indoors.=====
