The main difference is hardware and software compatibility for each type of sensor. In addition, the older Go Wireless sensors connect via a wireless Bluetooth connection, whereas Go Direct Sensors connect via USB or Bluetooth.
Go Direct Sensors
Go Direct sensors can connect to many platforms (Windows & macOS computers, Chromebooks, iOS & Android phones and tablets, etc.) The supporting software includes:
- Graphical Analysis and Graphical Analysis Pro (most Go Direct sensors)
- Spectral Analysis (Spectrometers only)
- Instrumental Analysis (Go Direct® Mini GC™ (GDX-GC), Go Direct® Cyclic Voltammetry System (GDX-CVS), and Go Direct® Polarimeter (GDX-POL) only).
Go Direct sensors also work with LabQuest 2 (version 2.9 or newer) and LabQuest 3. Some Go Direct sensors can be used with the DataQuest App on TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS handhelds. Go Direct sensors do not work with Logger Pro.
Go Wireless Sensors
Go Wireless sensors (and the Go Wireless Link) were originally designed for data collection on iPads and Android tablets. The supporting application is Graphical Analysis GW available from the App Store and Google Play.
Go Wireless sensors also work with LabQuest 2 (version 2.6 or newer) and LabQuest 3. They do not work with Logger Pro in most situations.
