The files from the download will allow you to communicate with your Vernier Go Direct (GDX) sensors, SensorDAQ, LabQuest devices and Go! devices with LabVIEW. 

These files support the 32-bit version of LabVIEW 2019, as well as the 64-bit versions of LabVIEW 2019. Determine what version of LabVIEW you are using.

You will need to manually move the appropriate files into your LabVIEW directory. If you are using 32-bit LabVIEW, the LabVIEW directory is usually found at C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2019. If you are using 64-bit, the LabVIEW the directory is usually C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2019.


1. Extract the downloaded zip file. This contains the folders that you are going to move into your LabVIEW directory.

2. Inside the download, locate a folder called "Common" and open this folder.

3. Open the folder called "menus Categories".

4. Move the folders called "Vernier GDX", "Vernier Go!", "Vernier LabQuest", and "Vernier SensorDAQ" into your LabVIEW 2019\menus\Categories directory.

5. Inside the download, locate the folder representing your version of LabVIEW and open this folder. For example, if you are using 32-bit LabVIEW 2019, then you would open "LV 2019 32-bit".

6. Open the folder called "examples".

7. Move the folder called "Vernier" into the LabVIEW 2019\examples directory. 

8. Open the folder called "vi.lib".

9. Move the folder called "Vernier" into the LabVIEW 2019\vi.lib directory.


Once you have moved the files from the download into the three LabVIEW directories (examples, menus\Categories, and vi.lib) you are ready to try some examples and make sure things are working.

Browse back to the LabVIEW 2019\example directory to find the "Vernier" folder. Open the "Vernier" folder and then browse to see all the available examples. Find a good example to run. Open the example with LabVIEW, run it, and test that your hardware is working properly.
