Vernier Graphical Analysis

IMPORTANT: This is the final release of this application.

In early 2025, Google is removing the ability to use apps in the Chrome Packaged App format.

To continue using Graphical Analysis, use the Progressive Web App (PWA) format replacement by going to graphicalanalysis.app in your Chrome browser.

We strongly recommend ChromeOS 128 or later. Older ChromeOS versions may have Bluetooth connectivity problems on some Chromebooks.

Graphical Analysis™ is a tool for science students to collect, graph, and analyze data from Vernier sensors.

Sensor data-collection support: • Vernier Go Direct® sensors - with Bluetooth® wireless technology and USB connectivity • Vernier Go Wireless® Heart Rate and Go Wireless Exercise Heart Rate monitors • Vernier LabQuest® sensors used with LabQuest 3, LabQuest 2, LabQuest Stream, LabQuest Mini, or Go!Link® interfaces • Vernier Go!Temp® and Go!Motion® USB sensors

Additional experiment options: • Data Sharing via Wi-Fi connection to LabQuest 2 or Logger Pro® 3 • Manual Entry

Note: Sensor data collection and Data Sharing require the purchase of hardware from Vernier Software & Technology. Manual entry of data can be performed without a hardware purchase. For more information on Data Sharing, visit http://www.vernier.com/css
