Logger Pro 3 and Logger Lite have had many different versions over the years. Vernier has added support for many new interfaces and Microsoft has released new versions of Windows. While there are versions of the software fully supporting Windows XP through Windows 10, earlier versions may not support newer operating systems and newer versions may not support older operating systems. Keep in mind that it is a free to upgrade Logger Pro 3 to the latest version and Logger Lite is free.
Sensors with order code ending in BTA or BTD, are not mentioned here. They usually have a minimum version as well, although they can often be made to work on older versions. Go Direct Sensors with order codes starting with GDX (with the exception of Go Direct® SpectroVis® Plus Spectrophotometer (GDX-SVISPL)) do not work with Logger Pro or Logger Lite.
A chart of which version number of Logger Pro is recommended for each operating system is available on the FAQs on the following web page:
