Go! Motion (GO-MOT)
Specifications and User Guide
Go!Motion works with the following software:
Logger Lite—https://www.vernier.com/downloads/logger-lite-updates/
Graphical Analysis app—https://www.vernier.com/ga
Graphical Analysis Pro—https://www.vernier.com/product/graphical-analysis-pro/
Logger Pro 3—https://www.vernier.com/lp
To use Go!Motion with mobile devices that don’t support USB connection, in addition to the Graphical Analysis app, you will need an interface—LabQuest 3 (LABQ3), LabQuest 2 (LABQ2), or LabQuest Stream (LQ-STREAM). If you are using LabQuest Stream, you will also need a cable to connect the Go!Motion to the interface—Digital Sensor Cable (MDC-BTD)
