Both Logger Pro and Logger Lite are no longer updated.
We recommend using Vernier Graphical Analysis app instead.

Logger Lite was data-collection software designed for use in K-8. It worked for basic data collection. If you are doing more complex analysis or collecting data with certain sensors, you would have needed our Logger Pro software instead. Both of these software titles have been discontinued.

Computer OS support

Logger Lite does not work with newer computer operating systems. Below is a list of unsupported operating systems.

  • macOS: may be supported in 10.13 and 10.14. Not supported in 10.15, and newer.
  • Windows: may be supported in Windows 11.

Logger Pro is mostly supported in the latest operating systems, though there are some issues.
