NOTES: 

Note1: Do not confuse our Go Direct line of devices ("Go Direct Temperature Probe", "Go Direct Motion Detector", 
"Go Direct Force and Acceleration Sensor") with our Go! line of devices ("Go! Temp", "Go! Motion", "Go! Link"). 
These are different product lines and have separate LabVIEW support.

Note2: For users of SensorDAQ and LabQuest, we have a free e-book that introduces NI LabVIEW programming through a series 
of hands-on exercises using a temperature sensor and microphone. Find this at:
https://www.vernier.com/product/hands-on-introduction-to-ni-labview-with-vernier/

Note3: The LabQuest devices require a driver when running on a Windows computer. Installing our free Graphical Analysis 
software will install this driver.

SUMMARY: 

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. You will need to manually move the appropriate files into your 
LabVIEW directory. 

These files support the 32-bit version of LabVIEW 2022, as well as the 64-bit version of LabVIEW 2022. Determine 
what version of LabVIEW you are using. If you are using 32-bit, the LabVIEW directory is usually 
C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2022

If you are using 64-bit LabVIEW, the LabVIEW directory is usually 
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2022


INSTRUCTIONS: 

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

2. In the download, locate the folder representing your version of LabVIEW and open this folder. For example, if you are 
running 32-bit LabVIEW 2022 on your computer, then you would open "Vernier for 32-bit-LabVIEW".

3. Open the folder called "menus Categories".

4. Move the folders called "Vernier Go Direct", "Vernier Go!", "Vernier LabQuest", and "Vernier SensorDAQ" into your 
LabVIEW 2022\menus\Categories directory.

5. In the download, open the folder called "examples".

6. Move the folder called "Vernier" into the LabVIEW 2022\examples directory.

7. In the download, open the folder called "vi.lib".

8. Move the folder called "Vernier" into the LabVIEW 2022\vi.lib directory.


GETTING STARTED:

Once you have followed the instructions to move the files from the download into the three LabVIEW directories
(menus\Categories, examples, and vi.lib) you are ready to make sure things are working. Connect your hardware
and then open a new LabVIEW VI. Right-click in the block diagram workspace and select the Vernier hardware
from the Functions palette. Click and drag the Express VI to the block diagram workspace. After dragging the 
Express VI from the palette to the block diagram workspace, the Express VI’s configuration window will open.
Look for feedback that the hardware has been detected.

The Express VIs are the best ways to create LabVIEW programs for your Vernier hardware, but you should also browse
to the LabVIEW 2022\example directory to find the "Vernier" folder. Open the "Vernier" folder and 
then browse to see all the available examples.
